cyrus Still single seven years after the breakup of his marriage, John has all but given up on romance. But unexpectedly he meets someone at a party: the gorgeous Molly. The relationship takes off quickly but Molly is reluctant to take the relationship beyond John’s house. Perplexed, he follows her home and discovers the other man in Molly’s life: her son, Cyrus. A 21-year-old new age musician, Cyrus is not ready to share her with anyone. John and Cyrus start a battle of wits for the woman they both love. “The main reason an audience comes to see a movie like this is to see something that is as true to life as you can get on film. Our goal is to deliver something that makes the audience feel like we put a microphone in their bedrooms and recorded the last conversation they had. We are trying to understand the human condition, but in a way that’s funny and makes us feel like we’re not alone. There are some very quirky characters that we’ve built here, but the truth is they’re a lot like us.”
