Family Dinner
Directed by Peter Hengl
Produced by Capra Filmproduktions GmbH, Film AG
A claustrophobic psychological horror that weaponizes family dysfunction and body-image anxiety into an increasingly sinister Easter weekend nightmare.
Overweight and insecure, Simi spends Easter weekend with her famous nutritionist aunt. The hope is that it’ll help her get on a healthier track, but as the aunt’s family’s icy dynamics and an increasingly malevolent atmosphere leave Simi feeling uneasy, weight isn’t the only thing she’s about to lose.
