With calm resolve, a young mother braves the challenges of everyday life with her two children. In the middle of the night, a friend knocks at her door asking to store a cargo of frog legs at her yard—a mysterious delivery that will bring the entire village community together in her humble home.
Deeply sympathetic to the daily obstacles faced by single mothers living with financial precarity, this sensitive short has a matter-of-fact tone that eschews sensationalism. The sober lighting beautifully blossoms into a warm glow, as the communal joy of food unburdens the loneliness of motherhood.
