About The Extra Man

In the dazzling and sometimes absurd world of New York City, a peculiar mentorship blossoms. Henry Harrison, a charismatic but aging gentleman who earns his living by escorting wealthy widows on the Upper East Side, takes a naive aspiring playwright, Louis Ives, under his wing. As Louis learns the ropes of Henry's unconventional lifestyle, he confronts his own identity, desires, and the often-bizarre realities of human connection in a world obsessed with appearances and social status. The film offers a humorous and touching look at finding your place in a world that doesn't always make sense.
