Commissioned by Singapore’s Health Promotion Board, this telemovie had the purpose of raising awareness regarding dementia, but Eric Khoo still managed to include a couple of themes of his own. Let us see what it is about.
The story begins with Qiu Yun, a chef specializing in French cuisine, who despite the frequent rebukes she receives from her boss, is actually quite good in her job, to the point that some investors have made an official proposal to her, to run a French restaurant of her own. However, as she is about to begin her new life, her mother, Madam Ching, who has been running a hawker stall selling scissor cut curry rice for decades, is diagnosed with dementia. Madam Ching cannot handle her ailment, and soon lashes out to her employees, to the point they decide to leave her, despite the years they have been working with her.
