A collection of stories centering the relationships between generations and the effects that they have on one another on both a personal and societal level. The stories here include that of an absurdist conversation about soup in the middle of the street between an older and younger man, a father and son each growing up with the same playground landmark, a girl trying to learn more about her family history from her reluctant father, a five-year-old grappling with her father’s absence from her upcoming birthday party, an artist seeking her mother’s help from beyond the grave to deal with two generations of harmful men, a meeting that takes place in the projected future of a generation in whose world few animals remain, and a dancer who draws on the power of her ancestors to break a generational curse.
