In a raw and evocative tale of family and the bonds that define us, 'The War for Gloria' follows the coming-of-age journey of Corey Goltz, who is thrust into premature adulthood by his mother Gloria's harrowing battle with ALS. Facing the shadows of a small Massachusetts town's working-class life, Corey finds his ambitions and innocence at odds with a reality that demands sacrifice and exposes hard truths. His estranged father, Leonard, embodies the charisma and moral ambiguity that haunt this narrative of love, obligation, and survival. Navigating the strains of care, yearning for adventure, and the pervasive influence of a father whose presence jeopardizes the family's delicate balance, Corey's quest is one that tests the very core of his identity and values.
