Origins of a Meal (1979) commences with filmmaker Luc Moullet and his companion enjoying a simple meal of bananas, eggs, and tuna. This everyday meal sparks a profound inquiry: what are the sources of these common food items? Moullet embarks on a journey to uncover the origins of these products, leading him to Africa and Ecuador. His investigation delves into the production chains of tuna and bananas, exploring the lives of the workers involved. Moullet seeks to understand the workers' earnings, comparing them to those of French workers, and examines their diets and living conditions.
