Family Meals

Hulahop Ltd.

Dana Budisavljević enjoys cooking for her family; The opulent meals provide them with an opportunity to discuss life's finer details. In this autobiographical and highly personal documentary the Croatian director narrates how her father, mother and brother deal with the fact that she's a lesbian. The amusing discussions reveal the fact that it's no longer the key issue, representing instead an integral part of an intricate family drama. The film speaks optimistically of the prospects of homosexuality being dealt with as fairly and “normally” as any other social phenomenon.
