The rest of the movie follows Rudy and Paul’s struggle to gain custody of Marco, whom nobody else wants. Rudy and Marco move in with Paul, who pretends that Rudy is his cousin because they know they have no chance for custody as an out gay couple. But to most people the truth is transparent. The only completely sympathetic adult, Miss Fleming (Kelli Williams), is Marco’s teacher in a special-needs school where the boy flourishes.
