Synopsis
The fantastic and amusing journey of our favorite “anti-hero”, Raimundo Nonato (João Miguel), and his philosophical-culinary adventures continues. Fifteen years after the events of the first film, Nonato has become the chef of chefs in prison, charming both the prison warden and the veteran inmate leader (Paulo Miklos) with his culinary talent and savory wit. Until a third boss, the Italian mobster Dom Caroglio (Nicola Siri), arrives to wrest control of the prison and the privilege of being served by the charismatic chef. At the same time, we discover the twisted roads that transformed the quiet son of the owner of a Brazilian restaurant in southern Italy into the powerful boss who, years later, comes to Brazil to challenge organized crime because of Nonato.
The film is directed by Marcos Jorge (Estômago: A Gastronomic Story, 2007) and the Brazilian premiere is scheduled for April 18, 2024. The script was written by Marcos Jorge, Bernardo Rennó and Lusa Silvestre.
