Sunday Lunch

Sunday Lunch
A woman recoils in shock

Synopsis

Grace, a young lesbian from a devout Catholic family, finally summons the courage to come out to her parents - at the most sacred of battlegrounds: Sunday lunch. With her assertive girlfriend Ellie by her side, Grace navigates a minefield of family dynamics, from her competitive vegan brother to a wine-soaked priest prone to divine hallucinations. But every time Grace tries to speak her truth, her mother, Susan, deploys increasingly absurd distractions to preserve the family's picture-perfect façade.
What follows is a chaotic, laugh-out-loud farce that collides faith, family, and identity in a way that’s as heartwarming as it is hilariously over the top.
