Eat Drink Man Woman
“A comedy to arouse your appetite.”
A retired and widowed Chinese master chef Chu and his family live in modern day Taipei, Taiwan. He lives with his three attractive daughters, all of whom are unattached. Soon, each of the daughters encounter new men in their lives. When these new relationships blossom, stereotypes are broken and the living situation within the family changes. Since the family has difficulty expressing their love for each other, the intricate preparation of banquet quality dishes for their Sunday dinners is the surrogate for their familial feelings.
A tender, food-centric exploration of family dynamics. It's a warm, often funny, sometimes poignant look at love, aging, and the unspoken bonds that tie people together, all centered around the ritual of the Sunday feast.
