Little dumplings can do big things. And Bao did! It took home this year’s Oscar for Best Animated Short Film! Chinese-Canadian Domee Shi wrote and directed the short movie. Bao tells a heart-warming tale of parental love and the loss felt when children grow older and leave home.

The mother finds great joy in caring for her little dumpling boy. But all little “baos” grow up. They make friends and become independent. As the dumpling becomes a teen, he pulls away from his mom. All teens can relate to this frustrating time; parents want to treat you like a little “bao”, even though you are almost an adult.

As the mother tries hard to stop her “bao” from leaving, she puts him into her mouth and swallows him. She is immediately filled with regret and sadness. Her desire to keep him close makes her lose him forever.

Are your parents too protective? Do they make you feel like a “little dumpling”? Do you feel unhappy about this? If so, it will help to remember the love and sadness of the mother in Bao. When you want to roll your eyes in frustration, remember that your parents are motivated by love. The desire to become more independent is normal. However, you are expected to express your feelings without “lashing out ” like “bao” does in the film. Ask your parents how you can have some privacy and independence in a way that makes them feel comfortable. And remind them that, in some way, you will always be their “little bao”.
