## Executive Summary & Cultural Positioning

Little Men is a 2016 American drama film directed by Ira Sachs that explores the developing bond between two middle-school boys. The story begins when Brian moves his family into his late father’s house in Brooklyn following his father's death. There, Brian’s son Jake meets Tony, the son of the building's tenant, Leonor, at his grandfather's funeral. Despite their differences, the two boys form a natural friendship. However, this connection is placed under significant strain due to a contentious rent dispute between Brian and Leonor. Leonor had maintained a close bond with the deceased grandfather, which previously allowed her to pay a low rent that Brian’s family now finds unsustainable. As the financial conflict between the parents escalates, the budding friendship between Jake and Tony is put at risk. The film had its world premiere at the 2016 Sundance Film Festival and was also featured at the 66th Berlin International Film Festival. The production has a runtime of one hour and twenty-five minutes.
