Soul Kitchen

ComedyDrama99 min

In Hamburg, Adam Bousdoukos is Zinos, a German-Greek restaurateur trying to keep his neighborhood spot, Soul Kitchen, afloat while his girlfriend has moved to Shanghai. When he hires a more talented chef, the new menu upends the peace at his locals-only restaurant, and a handoff to his recently released brother makes things messier. Moritz Bleibtreu is the brother at the center of that gamble, as family tensions, kitchen upheaval, and the restaurant’s shaky future start colliding.
