Dim Sum Funeral (2008)

Estranged Chinese-American adult siblings gather together at the home of their deceased mother in Seattle to grant her last wish for a traditional Chinese Funeral. All professionals now, they are also attractive and smart. Talia Shire is cast as as a middle age woman who was the housekeeper for the weathy family since they were all children. She loves them. The siblings feel closer to her than their own mother, but wonder why she would bother to stay on so long with their mother who was always treated them harshly. They have clearly moved on in their lives as far away from their roots as possible. We watch as they are re-acquainted and learn more about the mother they never knew, including a big family secret and surprise ending.
