About this filmv
A wealthy family gathers at a rural estate to celebrate a patriarch's birthday, only for dark secrets to be revealed during dinner. The film deals with trauma and the breakdown of traditional social structures. Shot on low-quality digital video, the images are grainy, shaky, and dominated by natural yellow light.
