A Family Dinner
A Family Dinner
2012, English. Directed by Peter Davenport.
Four adult children return home for a family dinner at their parents' New England house for the first time since the eldest son's marriage four years earlier, when something happened to keep them apart. Everyone joins in the cooking, gossip, laughter and teasing, and they all enjoy a formal dinner together until boundaries blur and tension and confrontation between the brothers lead to a shocking discovery. Exposed out in the open, this secret threatens to destroy the delicately balanced dysfunction of the family. Will this shatter their collective reality or will they go on as if this ripple under the calm waters never happened? This family is destined to repeat past transgressions and keep secrets hidden from the world, each other and themselves.
