Set in the Loire Valley in 1885, this sensual historical romance follows the life of Dodin Bouffant (Benoît Magimel), a celebrated gourmand living with his personal cook and lover Eugénie (Juliette Binoche). The pair share a long history of gastronomy and intimacy; she lovingly translates, executes and often elevates his visionary recipes. When Eugénie falls ill, he decides to pull out all the stops and cook a magnificent meal for her. Together—mostly in a gloriously lit country kitchen—they distill time, love, passion and taste, savoring life's moments with all of their senses. Directed by Tran Anh Hung.
