Description:
Charles Duchemin, an esteemed connoisseur and editor of a renowned culinary guide, finds himself in a war against fast-food tycoon Tri-Catel to safeguard France's rich gastronomic heritage. As a public figure known for his exceptional ability to discern food and wine by taste, he agrees to participate in a talk show. However, life throws two major hurdles in his path: his son desires to follow the unconventional career path of a clown rather than inheriting his father's profession as a restaurant critic, and to everyone's shock, including his own, Charles Duchemin loses his extraordinary ability to taste. The film delves into the challenges, relationships, and personal struggles that these dramatic turns bring about in the life of Charles Duchemin and his quest for redemption.
