This short film tackles a sensitive issue that is out of the ordinary and normal bounds of society. The suspicion from a viewer's point of understanding starts to gain momentum the moment the mother meets the girl her son brings along during one of his visits at home. One can sense the contempt and denial of the mother. Viewers conclude that something must be really wrong, when the mother sneaks up outside their bedroom, just enough to hear muffled sounds of their lovemaking. The last scene, with the mother throwing a fit while cleaning the son's room and then lying on the bed in a suggestive pose gives an exact resolution to her unusual behavior all along. Disturbingly and brutally honest, tastefully exhibited: it opens our eyes to the realms of endless possibilities in this world. The camera movements towards the end concluding with the door being closed signifies that this is, by far, a secret kept from behind closed doors. Nevertheless, it evoked feelings of empathy for the father, seen holding on to the railings, a picture of self-loathing and haplessness. This is a must-watch!
