Prodigal Son is the moving story of a traditional Macedonian family’s ‘dilemma’ with having a queer son, now in his 40’s.

When Ted came out gay to his parents, his mother Ljubica insisted it was a passing phase, but his father Alexo went further and refused to speak to him. Fifteen years passed, with no communication between father and son. But now that serious illness has struck Alexo, his guard has begun to drop. Ted knows that this is his only chance to bring himself back into the family again. Alexo’s emotional vulnerability and physical deterioration has forced him to come to the realisation that time for him could be running out.
