See the films the platforms disagree about most →In late 19th-century France, the story revolves around the refined relationship between a renowned gourmet and his talented cook. For years, they have shared a deep, unspoken bond through their collaborative creation of exquisite meals in his kitchen. Their quiet world of culinary artistry is disrupted by the cook's growing awareness of her own desires and the unacknowledged emotions simmering between them.
