Just like wine and cheese, food and film have been a match made in heaven since people began going to the cinema. But taking the pair one step further is a Tokyo-based designer who goes by the name cineca. With a sweet tooth and a keen eye for cinema, cineca creates literal eye candy that’s inspired by unforgettable scenes of movies. The sweets are all made entirely from edible ingredients and each seem to have imbibed their own narrative.

Cineca’s sweets are currently on display at Rectohall in Shibuya (through 06.29.2014)
