Logline

BEDBUGS

Rocky is a 50 year old loner, whose days as a ladies man only exist in his memories. Then Thorben appears and Rocky faces a new challenge. The young man claims to be Rocky's son and asks his father for help. Thorben wants to learn how to get women. The completely overwhelmed and useless father and the ignorant son make their way to get laid – and fail.
