Synopsis

A unique film set in a New York City pre-war apartment, chronicling America's youth coming of age over an 8-course dinner in 8 separate decades, with each decade representing a course. Beginning with hors d'oeuvres in the present, generation X-ers debate how different they are from past generations and wondering what it would have been like to have lived in the 20's, 30's or any other decade. The more things change, the more they stay the same.
