How do we remember the people we love? When Gloria’s time comes, her family celebrate their revered mother with the traditional Jamaican Nine Night wake — a touching yet testing

multi-generational gathering packed with music, food, laughter and tears.

Nine Night holds a mirror up to family life — and loss — reflecting the heartfelt comedy and deep sorrow that occurs when they gather together to share memories, good food and grievances older than Gloria’s well-loved dining table.
