Mr. Chu, a widowed and aging master chef in Taipei, lives with his three unmarried daughters: Jia-Jen, a schoolteacher; Jia-Chien, an airline executive; and Jia-Ning, a college student. Every Sunday, Mr. Chu insists on preparing an elaborate family dinner, using his culinary skills to express love and maintain a sense of unity within the household. However, each daughter is struggling with her own issues. Jia-Jen is dealing with the lingering pain of a past romantic rejection, Jia-Chien faces professional struggles and unfulfilled dreams, and Jia-Ning is navigating the uncertainties of young adulthood. The sumptuous meals serve as a backdrop to their personal dilemmas and often unspoken tensions.

The traditional Sunday dinners become a stage where emotions boil over, revealing secrets and deep-seated frustrations. The daughters increasingly seek independence and fulfillment outside the confines of their familial roles, challenging Mr. Chu’s sense of control and purpose. Meanwhile, Mr. Chu himself faces his own challenges with aging and changing family dynamics. The evolution of these relationships is punctuated by moments of conflict, humor, and poignant revelations, encapsulating the complexities of family ties and individual aspirations.
