A woman invests all of her time into cooking for her stern, demanding boyfriend, who ignores her wish to go on a picnic with him. One day, she discovers that oranges are good cooking material. Strangely, she becomes happy whenever she eats oranges, but her boyfriend doesn¡¯t even glance at them. Now what is she going to do with house-full of oranges? This witty film focuses on independence in relationships, rather than inter-dependency. (Billy Choi)
