Birthday Boy
Bad Timing. Bad Day. Worst. Birthday. Ever.
Overview
Rae is an artist going through an identity crisis. They’re unsure of their gender, struggling to find success, and starting to feel a little invisible. Today is Rae’s birthday, and when their father Jeff comes to visit, along with his troubled wife Mandy, things start to deteriorate. Tragedy strikes the house within minutes, but Jeff insists that they stick to the birthday plan: a family meal at his favourite Mexican restaurant. As the day goes on, Rae fights to hold the family together, comfort their grieving partner Alice, keep an eye on the increasingly-drunken Mandy, and deal with the non-stop stress of Jeff’s personality, all while being ignored and misunderstood by everyone around them; until the tension bursts and they finally confront their father, with awkward results.
