DIM SUM FUNERAL revolves around the lives of estranged adult siblings from A Chinese-American family who are summoned home to Seattle by their former nanny to mourn the death of their mother. The four Westernized children each have their own issues to resolve but reluctantly work together to fulfill their mother’s dying wish of a traditional Chinese funeral. In the process, they soon discover more about themselves and their mother than they ever fathomed. The film is a touching and funny look at the tenets of tradition and the idiosyncrasies of family.
