Kitchen Tales

A creatively ambitious short film from exciting new voices in filmmaking. Inspired by the tender love story at the heart of this film, a diverse team of women from across the globe came together to bring this beautiful story to life.

It’s 1979. A newlywed Indian couple arrive in London and attempt to make a home out of their new life. This tender, bittersweet film sees them navigate 40 years of marriage through the food they make and the meals they share as their family grows and their love struggles to survive.
