Conversations
at Dinner

Picture
Synopsis:
Family dinners are a thing of the past when empty nesters Hugo and Carla say goodbye once again to their college-aged twins and newly married son. Newlyweds, Bruno and Erica, are starting their life together, but Erica's cooking leaves much to be desired. Twins, Leo and Andrea, fight over the place fast food should have in their college apartment while their roommate Julia begins to showcase her unhealthy relationship with food. The dinner table will always be where life happens.
