Synopsis:
Betty Gartner, a 95-year-old widow, wakes up one morning and decides to give a dinner party that night for her small family, staff, two neighbors and a medium – and no one knows why. ​ The story takes place over the course of a day and involves the preparations leading up to the party as well as the back stories of Betty’s guests. Switching back and forth between the different points of view, we learn about the motivations, dreams, hopes, and fears that drive them forward. These multiple storylines finally converge at the dinner table, where the coming together of different personalities and the meeting of tensions and pain points erupt into epiphanies, resolutions, and new beginnings—all before the final act of the evening Betty has planned.
