This series of short films detail how we connect with others - including a filmmaker comparing his marriage to his parents; two men in a bar engaging in a forbidden dance; two long-haired trans men falling in love; a fateful encounter in a bathroom; and a young man trying to come out to his mother.

Kevin returns home with a birthday surprise for his mother, Lisa, only to discover her lost in the mundane act of cooking. But something is terribly wrong—Lisa’s irritability, her forgetfulness, her unrecognizable gaze. What starts as a simple celebration spirals into a chilling revelation of a son witnessing his mother’s mental decline. Flake is an emotional exploration of the fragile nature of memory and the profound bond between mother and son.
