Experiencing Interruptions?

Colours Of Life

The short film is about a family of 4. Father, mother, son and daughter. The son is about 20 years of age and his elder sister is about 23 years of age who loves his brother dearly. Their father is about 45 - 50 years of age, then his wife is about 36 - 40 years of age.
They're from a good Christian background which they don't joke with their christian religion. They love each other, always happy not until it's being revealed that their only son is gay. What will a religious father do in this case ? Did she love his son unconditionally?
Due to their father's authoritative and religious life, he couldn't hold it anylonger, he rather gave his son two options: either to change his sexuality or be disowned.
And to his son, he knows how much he has fought for his sexuality years back. How he fasted and prayed for God to heal him but to no avail.
To his Mum, she took him to different pastors for deliverance but nothing changed. His son didn't give up, he stood his ground to tell his father that there's nothing wrong with him and he should do his worst. Then he was thrown out of the house by his dad despite his mother's pleadings.
What is the fate of their son?
He was beaten by thugs in their neighbourhood and rescued by his friend.
He went to his friend's place, but he was chased out by his friend's father. He went to the church for help, but the pastor refused helping him because he feels he would give his church a bad image. However, the pastor offered him prayers.
He could not face the whole trauma and so he buys a substance and ends it all. His mom could not hold on to the worst that has happened to her. She questions God on why he couldn't heal her son. She thinks that God loved his son and didn't see anything wrong with him. She faces her husband and accuses him of killing their son. The family which got others jealous tears apart. Quarrels and disunity becomes the order of the day.
Her husband gets to learn that he is at fault and gets filled with guilt. He goes on to apologize to his family.
