Short Order

Life becomes an all-you-can-eat buffet in this ensemble comedy full of quirky characters and culinary delights. Dig in! Fiona is a young woman with an incredible talent for culinary temptations, but with no awareness of the strong influence these pleasures have on her guests. In a life crisis, the twenty-something has started to work as a chef of the small restaurant "Ishmaels", where she seems to waste her skills and talents. However, her dishes have a particularly ecstatic effect on the guests. Meanwhile, Paulo, the owner of the "Mediteraneo" restaurant, is out for revenge on Bill, the carouser. And Paulo's loyal sous chef Pedro threatens to bludgeon a respected restaurant critic with a frying pan. "This culinary comedy, distorted into the surreal and grotesque, comes up with delightful, occasionally bizarre ideas." (Film Service)
