In this crossover between a cooking show and an animated memory, a girl recalls her first encounter with depression, inspired by an apocalyptic event.
The film draws on a strong connection to childhood innocence set against a backdrop of post-war reality, mapping out a visual framework for ‘anachronic dysesthesia’ — the painful dissonance between the world as it is and the world as it was promised to be.
