Tagline

On the day Kevin finds the courage to come out to his overbearing mother, a shocking revelation about his mom pushes him to reconsider everything he had hoped for, and the nature of their future relationship.

Synopsis

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.
