synopsis

Set at the dining table of a full Lebanese Sunday lunch, this film is a snapshot of the life of a Lebanese-Australian woman in her 30s and her wacky family dynamics. Over the course of the meal, there’s a marriage proposal, a ‘coming-out’ and a near death experience, all squeezed into fifteen manic minutes.A comedy about being caught between two worlds. About that cathartic moment when you are faced with a life-changing decision. About the complexities (and awesomeness!) of being a second generation Australian.
