An experimental sound-led film of a performative meal being eaten by 4 cast members who begin as strangers to one another. A metronome is placed in the centre of the dinner table with cast members attempting to move and chew to the beat. With each new course of the meal the beats per minute are increased, whilst contact mics are placed on their cheek and their belly to capture the digestive sounds being made beneath the skin.
