MY FATHER IS COMING

Vicky (Shelley Kästner) is a German expat working as a waitress in the East Village while also dreaming of making it as an actor. She’ll have to give the performance of a lifetime when her stodgy father (Alfred Edel) hastily makes plans to visit her. As Vicky rushes to hide the aspects of her lifestyle that she doesn’t think he’ll approve of – namely, her gay roommate Ben (David Bronstein) and lesbian lover Lisa (Mary Lou Grailau) – only to become involved with a handsome stranger with a mysterious past (Michael Massee) in the process, Pops winds up tangled up with “post-porn modernist” Annie Sprinkle. A supremely kinky (yet surprisingly wholesome) sex comedy, MY FATHER IS COMING is also a loving tribute to the East Village and is notable for being one of the first feature films to prominently feature a trans man character.

“A cheerful cornucopia of kinkiness where genders and sexual preferences aren’t simply bent – they’re twisted into corkscrews.” – Stephen Holden, New York Times
