Description :
"Veselka: The Rainbow on the Corner at the Center of the World" is the story of NYC's beloved Ukrainian restaurant Veselka and its father and son proprietors, Tom and Jason Birchard. When Jason graduated college without a vision for his future, Tom brings him into the family business. Jason learns that Tom's dedication to Veselka produces delicious food that satisfies a colorful cast of neighbors and newcomers, but this leaves little time for Tom to be "dad" at work. In 2020, Jason takes ownership of Veselka from his reluctant-to-retire father. He has large shoes to fill, but Jason's biggest challenge becomes the war in Ukraine. He is unexpectedly thrust into the role of surrogate father to support his Ukrainian staff. Jason must explore his past relationship with his own dad to "feed" his war-torn team and keep his business afloat. Narrated by Golden Globe Winner and Little Ukraine native David Duchovny, “Veselka” is a thoughtful exploration and celebration of family and community.
