"A cheerful cornucopia of kinkiness where genders and sexual preferences aren't simply bent—they're twisted into corkscrews.” - The New York Times

Vicky (Shelley Kästner) is a German expat working as a waitress in the East Village while also dreaming of making it as an actor. She’ll have to give the performance of a lifetime when her stodgy father (Alfred Edel) hastily makes plans to visit her. As Vicky rushes to hide the aspects of her lifestyle that she doesn’t think he’ll approve of—namely, her gay roommate Ben (David Bronstein) and lesbian lover Lisa (Mary Lou Grailau)—only to become involved with a handsome stranger with a mysterious past (Michael Massee) in the process, Pops winds up tangled up with “post-porn modernist” Annie Sprinkle.

A supremely kinky (yet surprisingly wholesome) sex comedy, My Father is Coming is also a loving tribute to the East Village and notable for being one of the first feature films to prominently feature a trans man character. - Text Courtesy of Muscle Distribution
