About the Project
SYNOPSIS
SHORT
One woman’s journey through the ups and extreme downs of her life. We see her secrets unfold through her mother’s eyes, the narrator.
LONGER
As we observe a woman’s life with comical yet dramatic unfolding, we are enticed with the narrator’s cooking, thereby not only watching as the audience, but by representing invited guests. With both the evolution of Mary our protagonist, and the narrator’s point of view (her Italian Mother) we witness Mary’s loss of her (first unwanted, later wanted) pregnancy unravel and as her mom, the narrator parallels the story to the making of her secret sauce.
