Dalia’s Tea Casts a Shadow on Mount Fuji

Oren Gerner

Dalia (66), a widowed retiree living her routine life in a small village, receives the electric peeler she ordered in the mail. The package she receives, along with a conversation with her daughter, prompts her to prepare a vegetable casserole. The act of making the casserole leads her, for the first time in years, to rediscover vitality and passion in her life.
