synopsis

As part of an unusual farewell ritual, two siblings end up at a Chinese restaurant. Both feel guilty after the recent death of their mother and find it difficult to broach the subject. At another table a father improves his daughter’s homework, at the next a date goes wrong, and somewhere in between, the server’s collar bursts. Though the tables are close together, the siblings hardly notice the little dramas taking place.
