Food is ephemeral. It’s just for you, just for that one meal, and it’s gone.
In this short experimental film, personal stories combine with 8mm and 16mm home movies and HD footage, creating a visceral experience in which themes of memory, family, love, pain and desire simmer. And as a narrative of power unfolds, the centrality of food to our lives, relationships and our sense of ourselves is laid bare. Food will never quite look the same again.
