Mom sets up a date for her allegedly gay son | "Are you hungry?" - LGBT Short film by T. Niukkanen

‘Are You Hungry’ is a psychological comedy that looks at the relationship of a single mother and her adopted teenage son through the lens of sexual awakening. The film explores the otherness we feel in our own families and how someone you’ve brought up can still remain a mystery. Tomi’s mum has drawn the conclusion that her son is gay, and like all mothers, she wants nothing but the best for him. However, she struggles to have a frank conversation with him so she shows her love through other means. The inability to talk spirals her thoughts out of control, and driven by the worry for her son’s safety during this vulnerable time of self-exploration, she decides to act faster than the sleazy predators online. She signs up as her son on a dating app to find him his first partner, someone of his age.
