Plum Noodles

About This Movie

So, 'Plum Noodles' is this quirky 1992 TV movie that really dives into the lives of three families sharing a backyard. It's got this laid-back, almost slice-of-life vibe, but with a twist of dark comedy. You see, the old man who owns the house just returned from America, and suddenly everyone’s daydreaming about their slice of his pension pie. The pacing is a bit uneven at times, but that just adds to its charm, I think. The performances are pretty solid, especially how the families interact with each other – it’s like watching a real-life soap opera play out. And then there's the inevitable twist. It’s all quite distinctive in its approach to family dynamics and the absurdity of wealth.
