Synopsis:

An ancient story travels ahead of me, from a time before the world had a name. I carry it into a cooking school hidden in the Pyrenees, where fragile young lives speak through whispered instructions and shared meals. Our voices entwine. A quiet alchemy unfolds –like a recipe, a prayer, an initiation. Words become spells, recipes, memory, a fragile cosmogony. Small rituals quietly emerge in the forest.
