Synopsis
Eight friends come together for Thanksgiving Dinner! Of the friends, four have known each other since high school. During the dinner, adding a little spice to the discussion changes the gathering’s conversation-flavouring. Deep-rooted tensions – tensions that were never discussed over the passed decade – are unearthed. With eight people finding it difficult to let the next person speak, everything from inauthentic relationships to relationships that are telepathically intersected are realized, as is loving immensely and hating violently. With the emotional devastation that takes place during the dinner party, the guests leave with very little to feel thankful for. (thedinner.eventbrite.com)
