The story of Familiar Flavours is about the relationship between a young Australian boy and his grandfather, who has recently come to live with him from China. The young man struggles to accept this newcomer into his household, but through love and patience, the two are able to form a relationship.
This film was inspired by a time of evangelism, as we were reaching out to our neighbours in Perth. One of our staff met an elderly grandfather from China , who loved being with his family but was feeling quite isolated in Australia. That got us thinking more about what God’s heart would be for families that are going through difficult situations, and that led us to make this movie.
We trust that it’s message of hope and acceptance will be an encouragement to its audience, and especially to Chinese families.
