LADY PRIEST
Three generations of Lebanese-Australian women face their worst nightmares at Sunday lunch.
Dos Hermanas Productions, 2023 | Comedy | 14 mins
synopsis
Set at the dining table of a full Lebanese Sunday lunch, this film is a snapshot of the life of a Lebanese-Australian woman in her 30s and her wacky family dynamics. Over the course of the meal, Nadine’s multiple attempts to deliver her big news are constantly interrupted by her overbearing mum and tayta, her wonderfully eccentric grandmother. In just fifteen manic minutes, Nadine’s news is upstaged by a marriage proposal, a ‘coming out,’ and a near-death experience.
A comedy about being caught between two worlds. About that cathartic moment when you are faced with a life-changing decision. About the complexities (and awesomeness!) of being a second generation Australian.
“The power of series is to give us a look of realities that maybe we don't know well. That's the magic of storytelling. This pilot episode does it by mixing a dose of humor with drama, with good interpretations of the characters. So, congratulations to LADY PRIEST. As they say in the series, “the grandmothers who were born before their time“ and wanted to finish their studies and become prime minister, they will be proud of this.”
