SYNOPSIS
German director Sandra Nettelbeck whips up this tragicomic tale about an uptight professional chef named Martha (Martina Gedeck), who finds her world turned upside down when she takes in her newly orphaned niece, Lina, and tries her hand at parenting. Martha's obsession with precision gourmet cooking extends to discussing recipes with her bewildered therapist (August Zirner) and verbally attacking anyone who attempts to send her food back.
Some reviewer comments:
"A little diamond,sensitive delicately done piece of art,director's work"
"Solid Comedy Drama From Germany."
"Thoughtful, moving, rewarding"
