A warm and bizarrely entertaining independent film featuring wonderful performances and a heart-tugging message. The story follows April Burns, the family "black sheep," as she attempts to host Thanksgiving at her tiny Lower East Side apartment.
With the turkey stuffed and ready, April discovers her oven is dead. Refusing to fail, she begins knocking on doors, navigating the eclectic mix of neighbors in her building.
Her quest for a working oven leads her to neighbors like Evette and Eugene, and the eccentric Wayne with his pug Bernadette. Paralleling her kitchen chaos, we follow the Burns family’s road trip to New York—a journey packed with historical tension and unexpected complications.
The film brilliantly captures the friction and love of family gatherings, proving that it’s not the turkey that matters, but the effort to bring people together. A true indie classic.
