Many people have been expressing their confusion after seeing the Asian-focused short film 'Bao' which played before 'The Incredibles 2' in theatres. The film centred around an Asian-Canadian mother who ends up parenting her dumpling when it comes to life.

People's confusion arose when the mother has an argument with the dumpling when it tries to leave home, so she eats the dumpling. As viewers thought this dumpling represented a child, they were confused as to why the mother had eaten her 'child'.

The director of the short film, Domme Shi, cleared this up by stating that she was the overprotected 'dumpling' when she was younger and the movie presented how she felt coddled and smothered by her mother.

This was the first time the mother discovered her dumpling 'child' and picked it up.

This sparked confusion among the Twitter community

One Twitter user was not impressed with the short film but rather confused.

Even more Twitter users were shocked by the short film's ending.

Clearly not many Twitter users understood the deeper meaning of the short film.
