first screening
Anna has lost her memory but she has never forgotten how to cook. Thanks to Roula, she finds a new job and, through the contact with food and the people who eat it, she manages to retrace her past and ultimately recover her lost identity. As the director herself has underlined, cooking (alone or in the company of others) has been one of the activities that has accompanied, and in some cases even saved, people during the Covid-19 pandemic in households throughout the world. It is a simple, daily habit, but meaningful as it is in the protagonist’s life.
