Project Synopsis
Lee, a career-driven woman, returns home after her father's passing to hold a farewell ceremony. Reflecting on memories of family dinners, she decides to prepare a meal in their honour. As she cooks, memories flood back, and she finds solace and healing in the familiar rituals. Sitting down to eat, surrounded by the aroma of home-cooked food and cherished memories, Lee learns the past is already past but the good memories stay.
