SOUL KITCHEN (MA)
A film by Fatih Akin
Winner Jury Prize – Venice Film Festival 2009
Life is what happens while you're busy making other plans…
Soul Kitchen is about family and friends, about love, trust and loyalty and about the struggle to protect a place called home in an increasingly unpredictable world. Fatih Akin has gathered a best-of-cast from his previous films – Adam Bousdoukos (Short Sharp Shock, Head-On), Moritz Bousdoukos (Solino, In July & Run Lola Run), Birol Unel (Head-On, In July).
Young restaurant owner Zinos is down on his luck. His girlfriend Nadine has moved to Shanghai, his Soul Kitchen customers are boycotting the new gourmet chef, and he's having back trouble! Things start looking up when the hip crowd embraces his revamped culinary concept, but that doesn't mend Zinos's broken heart. He decides to fly to China for Nadine, leaving the restaurant in the hands of his unreliable ex-con brother Illias. Both decisions turn out to be disastrous: Illias gambles away the restaurant to a shady real estate agent and Nadine has found a new lover! But brothers Zinos and Illias might still have one last chance to get Soul Kitchen back if they can stop arguing and work together as a team.
