Three friends live off women — until love forces them to grow up.

SYNOPSIS:

Three friends live off women — but each does it in his own way.

Michael, 25, is handsome, fit, witty, and completely self-absorbed. He has several mistresses, and each one pays for a different part of his lifestyle: one provides his home and food, another buys him cars, a third pays for his clothes, and a fourth finances his luxury vacations. Michael sees nothing wrong with it. If women are willing to give him everything, why shouldn't he take it?

His entire philosophy changes after a chance encounter with Crystal, an independent, sharp-tongued mechanic who loves motorcycles and has no intention of supporting a grown man. Michael falls genuinely in love with her for the first time — and suddenly realizes that being with Crystal means giving rather than taking. He breaks things off with his mistresses, gets a job, and begins learning how to become someone another person can actually rely on.

But Crystal has a dangerous problem of her own: her criminal ex-boyfriend refuses to let her go. He stalks her, threatens her, and scares away anyone who gets close to her. Michael is forced to face his greatest challenge yet. He has neither the strength nor the criminal connections to confront the man directly, so he must rely on what he does have — intelligence, cunning, and improvisation.

Stewart, 26, is the complete opposite of Michael. He is a devoted husband, father, and homemaker. He raises their child, cooks, cleans, manages the household, and supports his wife Olena, a successful executive at a major construction company. Stewart is perfectly comfortable with their arrangement. He grew up in a family ruled by women, so being a stay-at-home husband feels completely natural to him.

But Olena has a dream: she wants to leave her exhausting corporate career and open an ostrich farm with Stewart. She is afraid to take the risk because she doesn't want to leave her family without financial security. Stewart wants to make her dream possible, but gradually realizes that taking care of a family means more than cooking dinner and keeping the house in order. If he truly wants to build a future with Olena, he must learn to take risks, make difficult decisions, and take responsibility for the family's future. Eventually, Stewart and Olena leave their old lives behind and open their own ostrich farm.

Gordon, 23, is a handsome, muscular, and painfully naive young man from a small town. He has no education, limited prospects, and very little common sense. He works as a male escort and has set himself a simple goal: sleep with one thousand women. The problem is that many of his clients are married — and their husbands aren't always willing to accept his profession.

Gordon knows he can't do this forever. His dream is to open a sex shop — a business he believes will allow him to make money without having to work too hard. But his naivety makes him the perfect target for scammers. He repeatedly loses his savings, falls for ridiculous schemes, and invests his money in hopeless ventures. Yet Gordon refuses to give up. Eventually, through a combination of persistence, luck, and his own unconventional way of thinking, he achieves his goal and opens his own sex shop.

The stories of the three friends form a single comedic journey — from living off other people to taking responsibility for their own choices.

Michael learns that love means becoming someone another person can rely on.

Stewart discovers that being a man has nothing to do with earning more than his wife. It means having the courage to make decisions, take responsibility, and build a future together.

Gordon proves that even the most naive person can find his place in life if he refuses to give up on his dream.

DEPENDENTS is a comedy about three men who live off women — until life forces them to discover that the real question isn't who pays the bills, but who is willing to take responsibility.

What is stronger — love, responsibility, or the desire to live an easy life?
