The bad news for Hannibal's mother is that she dies in the movie's opening minutes, along with Hannibal's father and assorted other loved ones when a Nazi warplane strafes them. The first meeting garners a small handful of the bereaved and troubled, including a mysterious and unkempt woman in a black shawl, who discloses she has spent thirty-five years in a mental hospital, and strafes the others around the table with an aggressive and intimidating glare.
