Plot
A woman whose husband is busy at work makes a dumpling that comes alive. She raises the dumpling as a child, feeding it meals. Eventually the child wishes to join with the other kids, despite his "mother's" protectionism. As her "son" ages into a teenager and a young adult, he increasingly wants independence, while his "mother" wishes for more attention from him, feeling ignored. When the dumpling introduces his new fiancée and announces his intentions to move out of his mother's house, his mother prevents this by swallowing him whole, after which she cries over what she has done. Later, the mother lies in bed, and her real life son enters the room, revealing to the audience the whole sequence was allegorical. The son, resembling a humanoid version of the dumpling, is told to comfort his mother by his father, as she ignores him. He enters the room, offering the same treat the mother gave the dumpling, and as they share it they break into tears. Afterwards, the whole family, including son's fiancée, make dumplings, as they sit at the table watching the television.
