Synopsis

Manhattan’s gritty, majestic Lower East Side is the sweltering romantic playground for Victor Vargas (VICTOR RASUK), a self-styled teenaged Casanova who, despite his adolescent hubris, has a lot to learn about love.

Eager to protect his street-cred after his friends discover he’s been sleeping with upstairs neighbor Fat Donna (DONNA MALDONADO), Victor sets out to nab a new girl. Much to her annoyance, popular Juicy Judy Ramirez (JUDY MARTE) finds herself the object of Victors relentless attention. After a humiliating series of public rejections, Victor strikes a bargain with Judys younger brother Carlos (WILFREE VASQUEZ). In exchange for a date with Victor’s younger sister, Vicky, Carlos will help Victor win Judy’s affections. His plan proves successful and Judy agrees to tolerate him as “her new man, securing Victor’s place high atop the neighborhood’s social pecking order.

Unfortunately, his hilariously cantankerous old-school grandmother (ALTAGRACIA GUZMAN), with whom he and his siblings live, is convinced that Victor’s teen-age sexual antics make him a bad kid. Caught between regaining his grandmother’s trust and helping his kid brother and sister negotiate the oft-baffling ways of the world, Victor discover that there’s a difference between acting like a man and becoming one. As he and Judy slowly start to trust and be trusted, Victor learns that a lot of love has been put into raising Victor Vargas.
