ESTOMAGO: A Gastronomic Story is Brazilian director Marcos Jorge’s first feature film, which mixes culinary art with humour, crime and passion... "An adult fable on power, sex and cooking."
The world is made of those who eat and those who are eaten. Raimundo Nonato finds an alternative way: he cooks. He cooks first in a bar, then in an Italian Restaurant and then in prison. He cooks and learns how to get by in a society split between those who eat and those who are eaten. What he learns, are a series of rules he uses to his advantage: in the end, the cook must also get his share of food and he knows better than most which part tastes best. An adult fable on power, sex and cooking.
Starring João Miguel (Nonato), Fabiula Nascimento (Iria), Carlo Briani (Giovanni), Babu Santana (Bujiu), Zeca Cenovicz (Zulmiro), and Paulo Miklos (Etectera).
Another great-- and fun-- score by Giovanni Venosta. Listen to the Shabadaba Doc tune, and it'll be love at first sound!
