Elliot Tiber, a gay son of Jewish parents, escapes societal and familial oppression in rural America by immersing himself in the vibrant gay scene of 1960s New York. There, he mingles with iconic artists while feeling the weight of his obligation to save his mother's dilapidated motel. Caught between the creative freedom of the city and the narrow-mindedness of his hometown, Elliot's life takes a turn when he learns that Woodstock organizers need a venue, leading to his motel becoming the festival's headquarters. This autobiographical tale is both humorous and poignant, showcasing his unexpected role in a cultural landmark.
