This piece is about the Mexican tradition of gathering the family to arrange the "ofrenda".
In Mexico there is the believe that in the "day of the death" -November 2-, our loved ones who aren't with us any more, come to visit us in this date, the tradition is to have a place (a table) specially served for them, with their photo, some saints, candles, "pan de muerto - (bread of the death-specially made in Mexico for this festivity) and the food they love to eat when they were alive.
