Plot Outline:
This film is about an upside down world, where being homosexual is considered "normal" and heterosexual is
considered "not normal".

Somewhere in Greece everyone is gay…everyone that is except for Yiannis. When his two dads discover some
straight porn in his drawer their suspicions are aroused that their handsome son, who doesn’t have a
boyfriend, is secretly straight. It turns out that Yiannis is in love with his co-worker Sofia. The only
complication is that she has a girlfriend, Zeta, whom she loves. Yiannis is left to pine for Sofia and
attend underground “straight bars” with like-minded people. His dads have their own problems as one of them
is having an affair right under his husband’s nose. Straight Story is a look at what the world would be like
if the tables were turned and being straight was considered to be outside the mainstream.

Reviews:
Great movie that had me laughing the whole way through it! The actors for really well in this, and the star
form the hit TV series "Maria is askimy" is very very good in this film. Great mix of comedy, irony, romance,
and sex. A must see! Keeps you laughing all the way through, with Yianni and Sophia having some very good
moments between each other and her girl friend making that even funnier, not to mention Yiannis mates making
the film just as funny. A very funny scene when he has to try act gay. From what I understand the majority
are metria names in the big screen but after seen this im sure they will be big names in the near future.

Dorian Blues (2004)

High school senior Dorian Lagatos realizes he is gay and meets another gay youth locally, but remains confused, and finally comes out to his brother, Nicky. Nicky is a scholarship-winning quarterback and favorite son to their hetero-normative and argumentative father. Dorian starts therapy, then resorts to confession in the Church. When his therapist and the church politely avoid offering any real help, Dorian has his first intimate encounter with a local gay youth. Dorian goes back to Nick, who was at first reluctant to accept his brother's sexuality. Nick attempts to teach Dorian how to fight and arranges to have him spend a night with a prostitute in order to make him become straight; from these efforts Dorian gains only a concussion and lesson in dancing, respectively.

After much soul-searching, Dorian comes out to his father (while wearing a fuchsia shirt) for which he is kicked out of the house after a very surreal argument over whether or not Dorian is gay. His father is very preoccupied with who else may know of Dorian's defective nature although Nick confesses that he knows and an anti-climatic scene resolves with Dorian packing his bags. Dorian moves to New York City, a city he adores. Dorian expresses all kinds of angst over his life style, defending his true nature to his father over the Christmas holidays. Returning to New York, Dorian experiences a series of encounters with the darker side of homosexuality. Dorian finds a boyfriend, but he gets dumped after two months with no given reason. Dorian develops a deep depression and finally, in despair gives in to it, coincidental to Nicky visiting Dorian in the city.

Nicky reluctantly joins Dorian with friends at Dorian's favorite local gay bar. Just as Dorian pleads with a friend to flaunt his newly found popularity, Nicky reunites with obsequious football friends stealing Dorian's thunder. Dorian then learns his ex-boyfriend dumped him for another. The after-discussion of the evening revolves around Nick defending his sexuality to Dorian in the face of Nick's football friends being gay and Dorian defending his own sexuality to his brother. Later that night, Dorian awakes to Nicky crying and learn that Nick was cut from the football team and was stripped of his scholarship. In the middle of the discussion, they both learn their father has died of a heart attack. At the funeral, Dorian's mother, finally freed of the overbearing influence of Dorian's father, tells Dorian she regrets not stopping his father from being angry with him.
