Delicious

In 18th-century France, in 1789, at the dawn of the French Revolution, the prestige of a noble house depended above all on the quality of the food served at its table. When the talented cook Manceron is fired by the Duke of Chamfort, he himself loses his taste for cooking and decides to return to his house in the country. There he meets the mysterious Louise, a woman who not only restores his passion for cooking, but helps him create the world's first restaurant by shedding the position of servant in this moving and fascinating period story.

A film built on French DNA that considers for the first time the origin of something that we all visit constantly and is as common as a restaurant. 'Delicious is directed and written by Éric Besnard, responsible for titles such as' 600 kilos of pure gold' and 'Cash'. It is starred by César winners Isabelle Carré ('The Story of Marie Heurtin') and Grégory Gadebois ('The Officer and the Spy') alongside Benjamin Lavernhe, Guillaume de Tonquédec, Christian Bouillette, Lorenzo Lefèbvre, Louise Rossignon, Benjamin Lhommas, Christophe Rossignon and Marie-Julie Baup. It was also the closing film of the Culinary Zinema section of the San Sebastian Festival.
