Private Project

Loenpia Bites

KIARA (18), a teenage girl who likes to review food she modifies on social media, lives with her mother, ASRI (49), who sells spring rolls using a family recipe. One day, in the midst of declining sales, Asri asked Kiara to review and upload Asri's spring rolls in the hope that her spring roll shop's sales would improve. Kiara's review received massive attention from the audience and Kiara ended up selling her modified chili salt chicken spring rolls online. However, Asri did not accept the changes to his hereditary spring roll recipe, which he considered disrespectful and tarnished the identity of the spring roll filled with bamboo shoots. Asri's response forced Kiara to find a way to negotiate with her mother.

Director Statement

My teenage years were full of arguments with my mother. I remember the moment when I colored my hair for the first time. My decision to change my appearance was met with negative feedback from my mother, who thought of me as naughty, sloppy, and unladylike. Working Title is my way of expressing how different perspectives between generations are represented through stories of mothers and daughters who have different arguments about addressing traditional food as a family ancestral heritage that must be preserved. However, ancestral heritage should be enjoyed by all family members in many ways. My teenage years were full of arguments with my mother.
