Drengenes spirende venskab er ekstremt rørende fortalt. De hænger ud konstant, spiller Playstation, snakker om deres forældre, om drømme, piger og fremtiden. Men samtidig begynder problemerne omkring dem at ulme.

Frequently asked questions

What is Little Men about? Toggle content

Little Men tells the story of two 13-year-old boys, Jake and Tony, who become fast friends despite their different backgrounds and personalities. They bond over their shared love of art and dreams of attending Fiorello H. LaGuardia High School. However, their friendship is put to the test when their parents, Brian and Leonor, get into a rent dispute over the storefront that Leonor's dress shop occupies in the building that Brian has inherited. The boys' efforts to remain neutral in the conflict ultimately lead to a heart-wrenching conclusion that highlights the complexities of gentrification and the challenges of growing up in a rapidly changing world.
