Description
Fanis is a man torn between his Greek ethnicity and his emotional roots in Turkey, the country of his birth.
Using the device of cuisine as a metaphor for national identity and personal feelings, we see Fanis grow from a boy whose grandfather imparts culinary and philosophical expertise from the Aladdin's cave of his spice shop, to a young man with a true passion for food.
Deported to Greece with his family as a young boy, Fanis returns home after 35 years for an emotional reunion with his grandfather...and his first love.
In Greek and Turkish with English subtitles.
