A Family Dinner 2012
Four adult siblings reunite at their parents' New England home for the first time since a mysterious rift followed the eldest brother’s wedding four years ago. What begins as a seemingly ordinary family dinner filled with cooking, laughter, and familiar teasing, slowly unravels as long-buried tensions surface. A confrontation between the brothers exposes a shocking secret that threatens to upend the family’s fragile equilibrium. As reality fractures, the question emerges: will they confront the truth, or return to the comfort of denial and repetition?
This film explores the inescapable pull of family and how we unconsciously slip back into childhood roles at family gatherings. It examines the ways in which family systems develop identities of their own—preserving dysfunction to maintain the illusion of harmony, often at great personal cost.
