FORGIVE AND REGRET

Short Film

A mother that learned the wrong way to show love, and an son consumed with anger. Mending a broken relationship isn’t as easy as giving a gift.

After hurting her baby son accidentally, Dompri believes that hands-off parenting is the only way to keep him happy. But when Cidaire’s feelings of neglect shift into rage and he commits a crime that puts him in jail, Dompri realizes that the love her son needs doesn’t come neatly gift-wrapped. Now, they must both look back on their regrets in order to find forgiveness.
