In a dog-eat-dog world, Raimundo Nonato has found an alternative way to move ahead: he cooks. No matter what social strata this deceptively innocent young man inhabits, he hones his skills and sharpens his knives—and then he falls in love. Jorge's nimble comic fable provides a smartly constructed gastronomic allegory for ambition and survival.

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A sly fable that uses cooking as a metaphor for clawing your way up, and down, through society, where a gentle protagonist's culinary gift becomes both his salvation and his undoing. The film moves with dark wit through unlikely worlds, always with an eye toward the appetites that drive people.
