As a Gentleman Would Say centers around the relationship between a young boy and his single mother. Ben is in a constant search to grow into the man that he believes he should be, but his precociousness and zealousness are tempered by his age and the absence of a real role model in his life. Sarah has learned to tune out life outside of the apartment. But her love for Ben is real and the bond between mother and son is undeniable. As a Gentleman Would Say traces a Saturday in the life of the duo as they go about their individual routines. Both in search of the piece of mind that comes with being comfortable in one's own skin, but both uncertain what to look for or where to find it.
