An extended family in 1990s China share a meal. The father works far away and seldom returns home. The grandmother prepares food and cares for the kids. Feelings of lightness, yearning and tiredness fill the air.

China at the end of the 1990s, lunch in an extended family. The father works in distant Shenzhen and is rarely home. The grandmother cooks and keeps an eye on the children. The air is filled with levity, longing, worries and exhaustion. Memories of a bygone era, told from the perspective of the six-year-old daughter.—Jakkepoes
