Comfort Food (2026)

LISA (40s, South Asian American) heads to rural Georgia to fulfill her husband’s last request. Upon arrival she discovers his aging mother ANNIE (60-70s, 3rd-generation Asian American), pushing away the culture that he savored, forcing her to decide if taking care of an elder is more important than her own self-preservation.
