East Side Story (film)

East Side Story is a 2006 romantic comedy film written, produced, and directed by Carlos Portugal and starring Rene Alvarado, Steve Callahan, and Gladise Jimenez.

Plot
East Side Story is the story of Diego, a young, closeted Latino, who helps his grandmother (Irene DeBari) run the family restaurant while carrying on a relationship with equally closeted Pablo.

Diego has long felt trapped by the conservative culture of East LA and plans to move away and open an upscale restaurant, hopefully with his lover, but Pablo views their relationship very differently - a point driven home when he begins dating Diego's Aunt Bianca. At the same time, Wesley and his boyfriend move in, gentrifying the neighborhood. The attraction between Wesley and Diego is immediate and electric, forcing both men to reexamine their state of affairs.
