About the film:

Estômago dir. Marcos Jorge, 2007, Brazil. The film is with English subtitles.

After moving from the Northeast of Brazil to São Paulo, Nonato finds a way to get by with his skills as a cook, first in a seedy bar and then in an Italian restaurant. Life’s tough lessons catch up with him and he ends up in prison, but his talents in the kitchen shine brighter. In a world where you either eat or get eaten, Estômago is a delightful fable that reveals the transformative power of food and the resilience of the human spirit.
