When the chilly chef proprietress of a Michelin-starred French restaurant in southern France gets wind of a culinary immigrant opening an Indian restaurant just 100 feet from her own, her icy protests escalate to all-out war between the two establishments. It’s a celebration of triumph over exile as these two worlds collide and one young man tries to find the comfort of home in every pot — wherever he may be.

Some material may not be suitable for children. This movie is rated PG by the Motion Picture Association for thematic elements, some violence, language and brief sensuality. Parental guidance is suggested.
