Synopsis 故事大綱

The unknown process.
Cooking, a path from A to B.
Dancing, another way through.

My position.
My state of mind.
Rituals of living—
cooking,
showering,
getting close to myself.

Weight. Shape.
Where am I?
Who I will be?
Cooking, for me, is a way of staying close to my culture; dance is how I embrace the shifts within life.

未知的過程。
烹飪,是從 A 到 B 的一條路。
舞蹈,是另一種穿越方式。

我的位置。
我的心境。
生活的儀式——
烹飪、
沐浴、
一步步靠近自我。

重量。形狀。
我在哪裡?
我會成為誰?
對我而言,烹飪是一種保持與文化聯繫的方式;而舞蹈,則是我擁抱生命變遷的途徑。

Director’s Statement 導演闡述

À feu doux – A slow simmering is a poetic dance film, a tender exploration of transformation—softly unfolding between body and breath, kitchen and taste, memory and landscape. It quietly evokes identity, language, and the gentle heat hidden within ordinary moments.
And just like cooking over low heat, I too am still becoming—quietly, patiently, unfinished.

《慢煮人生》是一部詩意舞蹈影像,一場溫柔的蛻變探索——輕柔地展開於身體與呼吸之間,廚房與味覺之間,記憶與景觀之間。它靜靜喚起對身份、語言以及隱藏在日常時刻中的微熱的感知。
正如用小火慢煮一樣,我也仍在形成——安靜地,耐心地,未完成地。
