A tight-knit Brazilian neighborhood becomes a stage for uneasy revelations as a family’s everyday routines intersect with hidden appetites and quiet resentments. When a routine meal invites guests from the past, long-suppressed conflicts surface, challenging loyalties and forcing each character to confront who they are when no one is looking. The film blends intimate portraiture with a poised sense of humor, tracing how hunger—whether for food, connection, or justice—can drive choices that ripple through a community. At its core, the story explores memory, belonging, and the delicate balance between hospitality and self-preservation.
