The story of Diego, a young and successful photographer that lives in the glamorous world of fashion, shallowness and excess. A tragic accident turns his world around; his partner is now in a coma. Unexpectedly, and right at this terrible time, Diego must take care of his son, Armando. Now, both of them have to adapt to each other; Armando to the unknown, homosexual world of his father, and Diego to the closed attitude of his teenage son.

 

年輕帥氣的迪雅歌是平面攝影師,與婦產科醫生男友感情雖穩定,但似乎抗拒許下更多的承諾。某日,前妻急需他幫忙照顧兩人的15歲兒子,於是闊別五年的父子倆終於見面,不意外的關係冷淡且陌生。兒子阿曼多一直不能諒解父親為什麼拋棄他們,直到以難堪的方式發現原來自己的爸爸是同志。 

面對正值青春期的兒子,迪雅歌不知道如何與之相處,讓他理解並接受自己的性向。直到為了幫阿曼多追求喜愛跳探戈的女孩,推薦自己的變性友人傳授舞技,讓兒子重新接納自己以及開始融入他的生活。此時,卻傳來噩耗,親密愛人因遭受到反同志者的襲擊,生命垂危,施暴者卻因罪證不足而被釋放。 

Finally I got to watch My Straight Son after I watched the tailer

But actually I like its original title, Azul y no tan rosa (Blue And Not So Pink), more.
(Spolier) Most people use BLUE to define boys and PINK to define girls, but ANYONE can have their favorite. Why couldn't girls like blue and boys like pink? Blue or pink just are two of so many colors.
In Canada there was a boy, Charles McNeill, wearing a pink shirt and then he got bullied in 2007. When I heard this story, I think NO WAY, Canada is a developed country which legalized the Same-Sex marriage in July 2005. Still some people got bullied because what kind of color they wear? #AntiBullyingDay #PinkShirtDay #WhoCaresWhatColorYouWear #ColorsCantDefineThePersonalityOfAnyone 
In 2000, a Taiwanese student ACCIDENTALLY died in restroom of his school, and he had gotten bullied for a long time because he was so GIRLY, BUT nobody cared, including his teachers. Due to the crime scene got clean, so the court said it's accident without any further evidence. Only god knows the truth. 
#WereAllDifferentYetTheSame #不一樣又怎樣
I was saying too far. This movie also/basically was talking about the relationship of a homosexual father and his straight son. The father was afraid of his son who can't accept him so the wall started building up between them but after opening up, they got closer because they always love each other no matter what. #LoveWins
One part I don't like is the father's partner got beaten up and then couldn't make it. I always hate that because it's hard to find your soulmate. When someone really found him/her, and ANYONE took him/her away. That's really piss me off. 
But anyway it's still kind of happy ending and I like happy endings, so it's not a bad movie. LOL
In the end, I am sharing those words of the end of the movie from Delirio del Río  who is a transgender because she thought she loved someone who loved girls.
How many times have we pointed fingers at other people because they are different? Different in way of thinking, way of walking, way of dressing, talking or loving. We mistreat other people because we consider them below us or less intelligent or because they have different skin colour. We make jokes about some because they belong to other cultures and have different customs and beliefs. We feel with the right to judge other just because they have a different opinion than ours and we forget we live in a plural society, where everyone has a place and where everyone should be listened to. And even more so the mistreated minorities that suffer a silent discrimination. "I am how I am, so what?"

 

P.S. You know in this movies the person who is so pink but actually so blue. And I think English title is the son but original title means the father.
