Miami International Short Film Award
Fufu is a subjective portrait of a first-generation immigrant daughter’s recollection of her mother’s life. Through what is intended to be the perfect re-creation of a childhood meal of Fufu, the daughter immerses herself into the labour of tradition and remembrance. In this imperfect reflection, the daughter dives into reminiscence, and her relationship with her mother.
