Plot

With news that her 10-year-old son is being bullied because of his feminine long eyelashes, a single mother tries to protect her son by trapping him at home. After being plagued by a series of escalating nightmares in which a shadow figure creeps closer to her and her son, the mother’s fear for her son’s safety culminates in a fight about her not allowing him to go to his best’s friend birthday party. After she comes home to find him trying to cut off his own eyelashes, she realizes that she cannot protect him by keeping him trapped inside- instead she must teach him to be brave and fight his own battles.

   От режиссёра

3 years ago I was writing my thesis film, a film about a mother of a gay child and my mentor [b]Meg LeFauve[/b] was asking me so many questions about I WANTED TO ASK. For research I went to PFLAG, I talked to many people — to realize the biggest question I was suppose to ask to my mom, and I did.
Me: Mom, what was the biggest struggle for you when I came out.
My mom: I was...I am afraid that you will be gone one Friday cause some lunatic will take your life. Afraid of letting you go.
So, me and my talented crew made this film. A film about bullying, about differences, about hate, about a love story between a scared parent and a child. Hope you will enjoy it.
