Shanghai Wonton

Lin Xiaohui returns to her hometown after a breakup, only to face her parents' struggling restaurant "Xiaohui" and their relentless matchmaking attempts. The 2025 dramedy takes an unexpected turn when she meets Jiang Chen, a chef who despises commercial cooking. Their encounters in the restaurant's kitchen transform wonton-making into a generational dialogue, where each ingredient questions tradition versus personal freedom. Balancing situational comedy with subtle psychological drama, the film explores whether happiness can be found by following others' recipes.
