Three meals, zero filters — Catalan family trauma served piping hot.
We follow the course of three meals in very different situations. Two friends who could become more, a tense work lunch and the family dinner we all know about.
Acting
Cast weaponizes silence; Fina Estevez's àvia steals every scene.
Direction
Pradas frames meals like boxing matches, cutlery as weapons.
Writing
Dialogue that sounds improvised because it's devastatingly precise.
Director
Eulàlia Pradas
