The Wheldon family sure loves to celebrate their holy Sunday. As for the family tradition, the parents Frank and Molly are preparing a splendid roast chicken. But their daughter Laura knows all too well that this is just their way of settling their differences. As the food is served and the alcohol flows, the seemingly civilised lunch quickly descends into a downright war.

DIRECTOR STATEMENT
Weirdly enough, I was always into violent and at the same time flat out funny films. This film was originally meant to be a comedy, but as you see, it turned out … different. As much as I like to draw caricatures of things, I love to offend and find the balance between making the viewer uncomfortable and lure out the kind of laughter you are ashamed for.
