An interesting experience intended mostly for hedonistic foodies

This documentary is about an interesting culinary experiment made at El Celler de Can Roca restaurant in Girona, Spain, that was elected in 2013 as one of the best restaurants in the world. The chefs there designed a carefully planned multi-course meal whereas each entry is served under the accompaniment of certain, mostly opera, music, on special dishes and table illumination. The camera work is beautiful with nice images from nature and abstract art, Salvador Dali- style.

Those who love to eat at high-end restaurants and appreciate Haute Cuisine, like opera and the Catalan culture (Dali, Gaudi) will enjoy this film.
