Synopsis
In
The Hundred-Foot Journey, Hassan Kadam (Manish Dayal) is a culinary
ingénue with the gastronomic equivalent of perfect pitch. Displaced from
their native India, the Kadam family, led by Papa (Om Puri), settles in
the quaint village of Saint-Antonin-Noble-Val in the south of France.
Filled with charm, it is both picturesque and elegant – the ideal place
to settle down and open an Indian restaurant, the Maison Mumbai. That
is, until the chilly chef proprietress of Le Saule Pleureur, a Michelin
starred, classical French restaurant run by Madame Mallory (Academy
Award®-winner Helen Mirren), gets wind of it. Her icy protests against
the new Indian restaurant a hundred feet from her own escalate to all
out war between the two establishments – until Hassan’s passion for
French haute cuisine and for Mme. Mallory’s enchanting sous chef,
Marguerite (Charlotte Le Bon), combine with his mysteriously delicious
talent to weave magic between their two cultures and imbue Saint-Antonin
with the flavors of life that even Mme. Mallory cannot ignore. At first
Mme. Mallory's culinary rival, she eventually recognizes Hassan's gift
as a chef and takes him under her wing.
