As an outdoor family gathering unfolds, so do decisions in alimentative practices. This film explores the paradox of consumption and care, where the presence of some animals makes others conspicuously absent. Drawing from Carol J. Adam’s concept of the absent referent, the act of eating is both deeply familiar and haunted by what, or who, is no longer there.
