Fuxi

Set in a circus tent where a ragtag film crew is busy shooting a gourmet movie. Told in four chapters, a funeral feast some 4,000 years ago where a grandmother severs her tail and gifts it to her descendants; a spring festival 3,000 years ago where a former king returns as a bird and suffers at a banquet; a mid-autumn banquet in the 1990s where spirits gather to honor a millennium-old epicurean poet; and a birthday repast at which a waif meets underworld deities.
