Don't Call Me Son (Portuguese: Mãe só há uma) is a 2016 Brazilian drama film directed by Anna Muylaert.[2] It was shown in the Panorama section at the 66th Berlin International Film Festival.[3] where it won a Jury Prize at the Teddy Awards for LGBT-related films at the festival.[4]

The film stars Naomi Nero as Pierre, a teenager unsure of his gender identity but not yet committed to coming out as transgender, whose life and sense of self is complicated when he learns that the woman who raised him is not his real mother, but stole him from the hospital shortly after birth — and in fact he has a whole other birth family, whose expectations of their missing son and brother he may also never be able to meet.
