Murders, steamy bathhouses, and loveably sexy characters set the stage for comedy and melodrama in Spain's "gayborhood." Evoking the comic insanity of early Pedro Almodóvar, Boystown is a raucous farce about an outlandish murder/mystery plot and the gay couple caught up in the middle of it all. Sinisterly handsome Victor, a real estate agent in Madrid's gentrifying, candy-colored “gayborhood,” hides a wicked little secret – he murders old ladies then flips their renovated flats to upwardly-mobile gays. When bearish working class lovers Rey and Leo inherit the latest victim’s apartment, they move Rey’s acerbic mother in. Now it’s up to an eccentric detective, her sexually confused son and the unwitting couple to uncover the murderous scheme before he strikes again.
