Five years after their last meeting the director's long estranged family of four comes together again for a birthday dinner. The rituals of cooking, eating and drinking make it clearer and clearer how important it is for the charming yet somehow eccentric family members to accept each other and especially the coming out of the lesbian filmmaker.
