THE BANQUET
When a workaholic Korean ad exec’s mother lets slip that she and her father are getting divorced at their 50th wedding anniversary, Sunny Park, 45, is manipulated into believing that the way to bring them back together is to learn her mother’s Korean Thanksgiving recipes. Packing herself, her mom and her daughter up to the cottage, she curtails her fast-paced corporate life to devote herself to the art of Korean cuisine, but finds herself clashing with her traditional mother’s tart tongue. Coming up against nosy neighbours, an inappropriately young admirer, her precocious daughter and a handsome if failed restaurateur, Sunny must confront the choices she’s made and learn that food, family and feasting are the stuff of life.
In development with Hawkeye Pictures, The Banquet has been supported by Telefilm, Ontario Creates and the CFC/Netflix Accelerator.
