Disgust

31 min. | Drama | N/A

The young man still lives with his mother, who cares about nothing but shows about nature on TV. But the emptiness that floods him forces him to change his life. “It’s a film about human loneliness and emptiness. The main characters - the mother and her son - are mentally disabled. The son has sexual problems, which is the main cause of his aggression. "His mother is constantly watching the Discovery Channel, she is interested in animals, but not in her own son, although she needs one thing only - her love," says director Aik Karapetian.
