In Nazi concentration camps, The Gulag and Japanese war camps, deportees wrote cooking recipes. Hundreds of those recipes were copied in small notebooks by starving human beings of all origins who took huge risks to write and keep them. Telling about these objects of survival, the film explores a phenomenon of incredible Resistance. Until now, no study or publication had ever been made on them.
Reviews
This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.
This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
The storyline feels a little thin and moth-eaten in parts but this sequel is plenty of fun.
A great movie, one of the best of this year. There was a bit of confusion at one point in the plot, but nothing serious.
