Synopsis

What obscure connections unites Luca Treves, famous chef, spice expert, and Andreas Dürren-Fischer, famous restorer of Flemish paintings? Luca and Andreas belong to two different worlds, art and cuisine, and have two opposite characters: the former is as shy and awkward as the latter is self-confident and worldly. And yet, when Luca meets Andreas he thinks the time has finally come to make a change in his career. Indeed, the restorer’s invitation to follow him on a short tour of professional meetings in Germany would offer him the opportunity to find new customers and abandon the provincial restaurant which guarantees him a quiet life, but which also forces him to sacrifice his highest professional ambitions. Despite his wife’s resistance, Luca accepts the proposal, but he doesn’t suspect that unspeakable secrets and a past impossible to forget are hidden behind the restorer’s affability…
