Write a short summary of what happens in the film

We tell the story of a mother who lovingly prepares food for her wasteful son, who doesn’t appreciate the love and care that goes into it. When he realises what his mother has been doing for him since childhood, he understands the campaign message: “Food is love. Don’t waste it.”

Cultural / Context information for the jury

It’s generally uncommon to express affection openly in traditional Asian cultures, so food is often a way to show love when it’s hard to find the right words. To convey Singapore’s food waste problem in a way that resonates with the nation, the film attaches an emotional significance to the food we eat.
