Witty mystery in both cases

The difference: Sits closer to crime than Inheritance does

Comedy with a pulse of play, in both cases

The difference: Leans harder into drama than Inheritance does

In a dog-eat-dog world, Raimundo Nonato has found an alternative way to move ahead: he cooks. No matter what social strata this deceptively innocent young man inhabits, he hones his skills and sharpens his knives—and then he falls in love. Jorge's nimble comic fable provides a smartly constructed gastronomic allegory for ambition and survival.
