A charming, nostalgic comedy-drama about a small-town East German chef who introduces exotic Japanese cuisine to his community, celebrating culinary ambition and human connection across cultural boundaries.

One evening in the mid-sixties, Rolf Anschütz, a chef who runs a small restaurant in a town called Suhl in the middle of the East German province of Thuringen offers his guests a unique and exotic meal - Japanese Sukiyaki. It was intent to be a surprise for some of his best customers and it became a great success. Even the local paper wrote about it - and this should change the life of Rolf Anschütz forever.
