So-called Civilisation

Director: Peter Svatek

World famous chef Massimo Bottura tastes the prepared menu. He gives final instructions and the beautiful auditorium of a former theatre fills with hot plates. But the guests at table are not the traditional guests of his Michelin restaurant; they are homeless and refugees who sleep in shelters and on the streets of Milan. The ingredients used are just as untraditional, as Massimo uses foodstuffs thrown out at the EXPO Milano that is underway. The evenings, during which 40 chefs from around the world will take it in turns, allow the guests to meet a world they usually cannot enter. However, all are a part of a moment during which it is possible to forget all hardship and enjoy the fleeting beauty of the instant.
