A pepeha-crafting lesson at school leads Phitcha to wonder about her family background, before a video call with her grandparents reminds her it's been five years since she left Thailand. Shrimp noodles dropped off by her mum at school provide a great bonding session for Phitcha and her friends, but it’s the ice cream she shares with her dad that breaks the most emotional ground.
