Eating Fish

Storyline

The Yu family’s dinner table has a bowl of live guppies and four fish dishes: turmeric fried fish, Hong Kong style steamed fish, fish head curry, and otak otak – all made of tilapia. The composition of the quirky family is told with a whimsically earnest voice-over narration and a vivid colour palette reminiscent of a cheery Wes Anderson, employing a multitude of fish motifs to comment on consumption and love in modern life.
