Silent Orchids (2014)

The relationship between a 18 year-old boy, Markus and his mother, Kristi (43) who is also his teacher in the same high school, is seemingly peaceful and harmonic. On Markus's birthday, the silent and peaceful celebration is disintegrated by their fear and distrust, when Kristi discovers that his son is in a relationship that she couldn't accept. After the fight, Markus is kicked away by the homophobic mother.  Lucky enough, his beloved and respectful grandfather, ‘the hero’ of the story takes care of him. However, an accident changes the ending of the story and the mother-son relationship.
