No Mill No Meal

Chan Pakyau • 2025

The film describes a father who has been working outside the home for fourteen years. During this period, the father has only a handful of time to live with his family. In order to search for the emotional understanding of his father and his family, the director conducted long-term grounded research and used participatory documentary shooting techniques to explore the connection between the family and the social landscape. He also gradually peeled back his father's inner world from the three contents of work, life and reality, trying to find the answer that had been buried in his heart for fourteen years.
