This movie's selection intertwines three stories that illustrate what makes Italian cuisine unique: the ability to exploit and interpret the territory's richness, and the genius of those who have transformed tradition into revolution.
A journey from south to north, from the Sicilian snow houses, which for hundreds of years have preserved ice and the secret of the ice-cream, to the refined culinary art of Gualtiero Marchesi, a Michelin-starred chef celebrated throughout the world, ending with the genius of Gianni Cosetti, a chef from Friuli, little known to the general public but considered by food critics to be one of the best Italian chefs ever.
