A story of friendship in the world of gastronomy

Do you remember the day you met them?

That person without whom you would never have become who you are?

Maxime and Emile are studying for their CAP (Certificate of Professional Qualification) in cooking. They are 15 years old and come from very different backgrounds. They are polar opposites, but they quickly become inseparable. Their bond is powerful and joyful. It helps them overcome the challenges and the harshness of the apprenticeship.

Then they embark on their professional lives and climb the ladder of the world of haute cuisine together. The journey lasts 20 years and takes them to a truck stop, a foodie bistro, a seedy trattoria, a Michelin-starred restaurant. They also pass through the stands of a football stadium, a prison cell, Italy... They become men, discover life, and devour it all.

And then the bond is damaged, overtaken by the harshness of the world around them, that of gourmet restaurants where to survive you have to become a machine.

What will become of their friendship?



It's a story filled with passion and nostalgia, laughter and tears.

And as in love, there is a beginning, a middle, and sometimes an end.
