AKRON – Young men, in love, in middle America
Benny and Christopher, college freshmen, meet playing football and begin a relationship.
They fall in love supported by their family and friends. As their love for each other grows, a past tragic event involving their mothers comes to light. This revelation tests their own love and Benny s close-knit family.
Throughout this reflective love story, with the beauty of rural Ohio as its backdrop, Benny travels an emotional journey that examines both his own feelings and his family s ability to come to terms with the past.
Emotionally resonant and beautifully crafted, AKRON is a progressive queer story, heralding a new age in gay cinema.
