Program Note
On the evening of the family’s traditional winter solstice dinner, Chun and Ling, their daughter Ki and son Yeung, and Ling’s brother Ming gather at Ling’s mother’s house. Tired of Chun’s incompetence, losing his job when they’re looking to repair and move into the house they bought with everything they had, Ling demands a divorce. While attempting to mediate between the two, Yeung gets greatly disappointed and angry with Chun. And Ming, whose business failed, has a fight with his aging mother. That becomes the last family dinner. Eight years later, Ming’s daughter Joy returns to Hong Kong, and the family plans for their traditional dinner on the winter solstice again. Can the years of pain and remorse bring the family together again? On this evening of Joy’s first winter solstice dinner, the film shows through the night scenery that a family can be whole even if it is not perfect. (CHOI Eun)
