SYNOPSIS:
The
Green tells the story of a teacher
at a Connecticut private high school,
who thinks he can live a simple,
harmonious domestic existence with his
partner Daniel, a locavore caterer.
Seemingly more concerned with the
minutiae of suburban life than he is
about challenging the bias he
experiences in the provincial,
recession-weary Yankee bastion, Michael
adheres to an unspoken survival code:
Don’t speak up, don’t make trouble.
But Michael’s world is turned
upside-down when he is accused of
engaging in “inappropriate behavior”
with a male student, who runs away from
home leaving behind his
financially-strapped mother and her
mercenary boyfriend to capitalize on the
school’s culpability in the alleged
affair. With his job, relationship, and
freedom in jeopardy, Michael must
confront the suspicions of his
co-workers, the latent homophobia of his
friends and neighbors, and Daniel’s
doubts about his partner’s innocence
after the investigation reveals a secret
from his past.
Winner of 8 film festival awards including Best Feature at the Connecticut Film Festival and the San Diego LGBT Film Festival,
The Green was written by Paul Marcarelli, best known as Verizon’s “Can you hear me now” pitchman. |
