When his fiercely homophobic mother suddenly moves into his apartment, life quickly turns into a battlefield for her son. Determined to “fix” him, she constantly lectures him about his sexuality—while paradoxically bringing home a parade of mysterious male companions of her own.

Fed up with the hypocrisy, he decides to fight back in the most outrageous way possible.

If she can bring men home, so can he.

What begins as petty retaliation soon spirals into a ridiculous competition. The living room becomes neutral territory in an escalating war of pride, embarrassment, and provocation—each trying to outlast the other in a bizarre standoff of stubborn wills.

Between awkward encounters, slammed doors, and increasingly absurd situations, mother and son clash in a chaotic game where neither wants to surrender.

But beneath the comedy and confrontation lies a deeper question:
in a house filled with conflict, can two people who refuse to understand each other ever learn to coexist?
