SYNOPSIS :
PRESERVES is an allegory wrapped in layers of vignettes that produce a lyrical meditation on food and labor. Starting as an investigation of a Taiwanese agricultural tradition of making suan cai (a Chinese sauerkraut), the film evolves into a discussion about memory, culture and our diasporic futures.
