À feu doux

Set in a sun-dappled harbor town, this intimate drama follows a reserved chef who returns home after years abroad to run his family's seaside bistro. Struggling with the weight of expectations and a lingering heartbreak, he rekindles a tentative friendship with a local artist whose fearless curiosity unsettles his carefully ordered routine. As the kitchen becomes a stage for small revolutions—quiet improvisations, late-night tastings, and improvised rituals—the pair navigate memory, loss, and the stubborn resilience of place. Through patient conversations and shared meals, they learn to honor the past while choosing honesty, connection, and the courage to begin again.
