Potato Dreams of America

Directed by Wes Hurley

The story centers on a young gay boy growing up in the Soviet Union, alongside his mother who is a mail-order bride. Together, they embark on a daring journey to escape to America.
Adapted from the short film 'Little Potato (2017)'.
Potato Dreams of America is a wonderfully idiosyncratic autobiographical comedy about a gay boy growing up in the Soviet Union before emigrating to the United States. Wes Hurley mixes absurd humour, memory and emotional honesty in a film whose eccentricity is inseparable from its considerable charm.
