In the uproarious dysfunctional comedy, “The announcement,” a diverse group of siblings must navigate a night of chaos, secrets, and unexpected revelations following the death of their father, Joseph. His unusual will mandates a final dinner where the reading of his will can only happen after dessert. Hosted by the eldest sibling, Beth, this dinner promises to be anything but ordinary.

​

Beth (57), the steadfast matriarch who has long been the family's rock, is secretly grappling with her own issues, including estrangement from her daughter and a desperate bid for a second chance at motherhood. Richard (55), a self-assured alternative medicine doctor with a right-wing bent, attends with his partner Hugh (45), who harbours a surprising secret—he’s been aiding Beth's attempt to conceive.

​

Sam (40), the recovering artist, reluctantly joins the gathering with his fiercely protective partner Jules (40), a former addict. Sam dreads the reunion, anticipating the worst from his family, who still view him as the troubled son. The youngest sibling, Mikalia (40), arrives with her new, opportunistic boyfriend Frank (30s), hoping to prove she has finally found "the one." Mikalia harbors deep resentment towards Beth and is eager to reveal her connection with Beth’s estranged daughter.

​

As the evening unfolds through a series of courses—from appetizers to dessert—each family member's hidden agendas and buried grudges bubble to the surface. From flying cheese to unexpected declarations, this dinner spirals into a hilariously chaotic mess that forces everyone to confront their pasts and futures.

​

Through laughter and tears, "Family Matters" explores the messy, unpredictable, and often humorous dynamics that define family, proving that even in the face of dysfunction, love and forgiveness can sometimes prevail.
