Brad Jenkins, a 40 year old gay college professor still uncomfortable in his own skin, is transported back to his youth and a world in which gay is "normal" and straight is not accepted. Brad has to weigh whether to remain in the past and be "normal" or attempt to return to his old life. A local jock, who had ignored him before, now dates him. However, he grows attracted to a girl—his sister-in-law in the heteronormative world. Eventually, everyone dances with people of the opposite sex at the school ball, even though they are in the homonormative world, showing Brad's "acceptance" of his straightness is the past and his gay self in real life. He then returns to his life as a professor and re-unites with the jock, who turns out to be the gay father of a student of Brad's.
Almost Normal won the Best of the Fest award at the 2005 Breckenridge Festival of Film.
