Working Lunch
Synopsis
On a regular work day, two liberal friends Nina and Jess, an Indian-American and a member of the LGBTQ community, excitedly head to lunch at a new Indian restaurant, until they are stopped in their tracks by hate graffiti scrawled tragically across the restaurant's facade. Determined, Nina pulls her friend into the empty restaurant anyway, surprising the devastated owner, Shantu. As they sit, another stunned patron enters- Mark. When it quickly becomes apparent that Mark is a dedicated Trump voter, a slanderous argument between Jess and Mark ensues. Ultimately, Jess, Mark, and Nina find that they must get over their misconceptions of each other and come together for the common good: they transform the message of hate into a positive Hindu blessing, not only for their friend, but for their community.
