2008113 min7.9 / 10

A darkly comic fable that uses cooking and crime as metaphors for ambition and survival in a brutal world, blending allegory with visceral human drama.

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.
