The Dead background

The Dead

A turning point at their aunt's home sets off a transformative journey for a young couple, forever changing the trajectory of their lives.

On a lightly-snowy January 6th evening in Dublin, elderly sisters Kate and Julia, and their niece Mary Jane, all music teachers or performers, host their annual Epiphany dinner. The evening unfolds with familiar guests, except for Mary Jane's new students and their chaperones. Gabriel, Kate and Julia's nephew, plays a crucial role, carving the goose and giving the main toast, while his wife Gretta presents the pudding. The party proceeds smoothly until a sudden turn of events sparks deep reflection in Gretta.
