"Feast of Love" is the movie, right? Rachel Steele is the mother who is very controlling and strict with her son, Link. She's overprotective, not wanting him to engage in what she sees as inappropriate behavior. Link is a young boy with Down syndrome, and Rachel's overprotectiveness stems from her desire to protect him from the world's harshness. The conflict arises when Link is introduced to the world of love and relationships through the character David Rice, played by Robert De Niro.
