Synopsis

A man, 

a table, 

a pack of instant noodles, 

a can of luncheon meat, 

a cassette tape recorder. 

This is a journey of life, about reflection and acceptance. 

When the present meets the past, perhaps the future becomes clear. 

Every day, an elderly man eats a can of luncheon meat, to keep a promise to his wife. Alone and adrift, he revisits past moments and memories, in search of meaning and closure. As the days pass, he gets closer to his last can of luncheon meat.
