Piah is a poignant slice of life that really digs into familial tension over something as simple yet profound as food. The story revolves around broken Tau Sar Piah, a Chinese pastry, and how its physical representation of a rift between father and son unfolds over twenty years. The pacing feels intentional, allowing the quiet moments to breathe, making the emotional beats land even harder. You can sense the weight of nostalgia and regret in each character's interaction, subtly portrayed without needing grand gestures. It leans heavily on practical effects to tell its story, creating a tangible connection to the past. The performances are raw and genuine, adding layers to the father-son dynamic that feels both relatable and deeply personal.
