Eat Drink Man Woman
voice over
It’s an
early Sunday morning and the preparations for the week have begun. A man grabs
a fish from a barrel and in a moment of brute strength he debilitates the fish.
He scales and debones it, leaving its intestines and guts to be trashed. He
then moves on to flouring and frying the fish. The oil bounces and dances
around the fish as he browns it. As he continues to slice and dice vegetables
an easy rhythm comes about him, a rhythm that can only be acquired through
years of practice and experience. His cooking skills are unparalleled as he
slices through various foods with ease and simplicity. The kitchen comes to
life as he continues to cook and places finishing touches on various dishes.
PAUSE
The man
then embarks on his next dish, walking out of the house he ventures to find the
right chicken to cook. He sees and acquires his next conquest and proceeds to
pluck and debone it. He tops other dishes with sauces and broths and fries
other foods. He then places the chicken into a deep roasting bowl and pours a
broth over it then placing it down to cook. He tops other pots of food with
spices. His serenity in the kitchen is obvious as he begins jovially tapping
his knives to a rhythmic beat. He turns to making small dumplings before he is
interrupted by the ringing of a phone call – his first disruption from his
work.
