In Any Day Now, directed by Travis Fine and written by Fine and George Arthur Bloom, Alan Cumming is one half of a gay couple in the 1970s. When a mentally handicapped teenager is abandoned, the couple takes him in and becomes the family he never had — until the men find themselves in a battle with a biased legal system to adopt the child.

"I'm a huge fan of the gritty, character-driven dramas that were made during the 1970s," Fine told Variety. "Any Day Now offers me an opportunity as a filmmaker to revisit that time period cinematically, address social issues that are just as relevant today as they were 35 years ago and explore unique characters who discover love in the most unlikely of places."
