My Straight Son, also known as Azul y no tan rosa, is a 2012 Venezuelan drama film directed by Miguel Ferrari. The film follows Diego, a successful and openly gay Venezuelan photographer living in Spain, whose life turns upside down when his estranged teenage son Armando comes to visit him after years of absence. The movie begins with Armando arriving in Spain, unannounced and uninvited, hoping to reconnect with his father after his mother passes away. Diego, who is in the middle of a photo shoot, is shocked to see his son after so many years but is also happy to see him. However, Armando's arrival is unwelcome for Diego's current boyfriend, Fabrizio, who is not comfortable with the sudden appearance of Diego's teenage son.

The movie explores the complex and strained relationship between Diego and Armando, who are both struggling with their own problems. While Armando fights to come to terms with his sexuality, Diego struggles to balance his role as a father with his own personal life. The two men must navigate their feelings towards each other and try to overcome their past issues and family trauma.

As the story progresses, the audience witnesses a transformation in the father-son dynamic as the two men begin to understand each other better. Diego begins to take an active interest in Armando's life and tries to support him through his troubles, including dealing with bullies at school and coming out to his friends and family.

Meanwhile, Diego is dealing with his own issues, including a lawsuit against his ex-boyfriend and an unplanned pregnancy with Fabrizio. The movie also touches on topics such as homophobia, individual identities, and redemption.

The acting in the film is exceptional, with standout performances from Guillermo Garcia as Diego and Ignacio Montes as Armando. The chemistry between the two actors is palpable, and their on-screen relationship appears both genuine and authentic.

The film also features a strong supporting cast, including Hilda Abrahamz as Diego's loyal friend Delirio, who provides a friendly ear and advice when needed. The soundtrack is also noteworthy for its emotive and moving composition.

Overall, My Straight Son (Azul y no tan rosa) is a moving film that explores themes of forgiveness, acceptance, and love in all its forms. The film serves as a powerful reminder that family is not just about blood relations but is also about the bonds that we create with those we love.
