An Ode to a Time I Loved Bread
Synopsis
A memory trip of juvenile sentiments about Neema, the filmmaker’s time at a colonial legacy boarding school. Neema reflects on her odd school rules that made no sense and recreates memories through collage to reconcile with her past and let go of painful memories. This film is a film that serves as a soothing balm to heal Neema’s inner child.
