Eat Before Loving (2021)

Other name: 谈恋爱前先吃饭, 談戀愛前先吃飯, Tan Lian Ai Qian Qing Chi Fan, Taam Lyun Ngoi Chin Sin Gat Faan, Eat Before Falling in Love

Description:

This film follows a character swept away by the intoxicating early stages of a new romance. So consumed by passion and the desire to please, they increasingly neglect their basic needs. Missed meals become a daily norm, personal routines crumble, and their own well-being takes a backseat to every romantic whim and gesture. What starts as sweet devotion soon spirals into a humorous yet poignant struggle, as hunger pangs, fatigue, and general exhaustion begin to undermine their attempts at true connection and even simple conversations.

The film vividly charts their gradual realization that an empty stomach—and by extension, an unfulfilled self—cannot truly sustain a healthy, vibrant partnership. It’s a charming and insightful journey about rediscovering the fundamental importance of self-care and personal sustenance. The core message is clear: to genuinely love another, one must first ensure their own nourishment and happiness, proving that sometimes, you simply have to eat before loving.
