An 11-minute Sunday that'll make you hungry, homesick, and question your own family traditions.
One Sunday in a public housing project, an Italian immigrant family. Through the character of the mother, we experience the family's Sunday ritual. More than just this somewhat ancestral ritual, which is still relevant today, we get a glimpse of this Mediterranean culture.
