Giant Little Ones, directed by Keith Behrman, follows the lives of high school students and best friends Franky (Josh Wiggins) and Ballas (Darren Mann) after an unexpected incident occurs at Franky's 17th birthday party. The incident involves Franky kissing Ballas after a game of spin the bottle, causing a rift between the two boys and setting off a chain of events that prompts them to question their sexual identities.
As Franky navigates this newfound confusion, he leans on his supportive mother (Maria Bello) and openly gay friend Mouse (Niamh Wilson) for guidance. Meanwhile, Ballas struggles with his emotions, clinging to his popular image and toxic masculinity. The incident also affects their respective families, causing tension between Franky's father (Kyle MacLachlan) and Ballas' mother (Maria Bello).
Giant Little Ones explores themes of sexual identity, adolescence, and the complexities of relationships. It received critical acclaim for its portrayal of queer characters and their experiences in a small town.
