a mother cooking
Kirpianuscus12 October 2022
Warning: Spoilers
One of short films impecable crafted, proposing admirable nuanced story about a cook in an empty kitchen and her guidance to a painful truth.

In the first scenes, all seems just confuse. Maybe a test for employment. Or the use of work kitchen for a surprise for her son.

You feel the tension. You do not understand it.

And the key sound very delicate. Because it is not about a confession, cooking lesson or solution for boring activity defined by routine.

It is a very personal moment , shared , in some measure, with apparent coldness, to the viewer. A story about a young man, her son and about burned meatballs and a lemon pie. And, sure, about time and a small difference - few grams between a moment and other.

Patricia McCormack gives not only a great role and inspired direction to story but a motif of profound admiration.

The words of a mother before one of the most terrible moments of her life.
