The First Supper

最初の晩餐

A family reconvenes for their patriarch's funeral and remembers him through the singular food he cooked in their sometimes stormy past. As secrets emerge and misunderstandings are cleared up, they begin to understand each other better and to reach closure. This striking debut from writer-director Tokiwa Shiro brings together a stellar cast for a touching—and also appetizing—tale of repressed emotions, familial bonds and the healing powers of a shared meal.......Post-screening PARTY with FOOD TASTINGS from Chapati Man, 886, Karl's Balls, Halal Guys, and drinks!!.......
