Dim Sum Funeral
Synopsis
An Irish funeral has a wake. A Jewish funeral has sitting shiva. A traditional Chinese funeral is something else entirely.

The one brother and three sisters don't get along, however, they share one thing: hatred for their domineering and manipulative mother, "The Dragon Lady."
