Brothers background

Brothers

When the youngest brother becomes gay, two conservative men stand by him and assist him in navigating life as an openly gay individual in 1980s Philadelphia.

When the Waters brothers from Philadelphia in the 1980s find out their kid brother Cliff is gay, funny scenarios ensue as they struggle with accepting his sexuality while attempting to "cure" him. Despite their initial resistance, they ultimately love Cliff regardless of his sexual orientation.
