Synopsis

Luis, a scriptwriter who lives in Madrid and who is about to have a daughter, returns to his native village of Cocentaina surrounded by the mountains of Alicante. He intends to help his brother Kiko and his cousin Alberto write a book about the cuisine of their family restaurant: L’Escaleta, which has just received two Michelin stars and is listed among the 25 best restaurants in Spain and Portugal. Together they embark on an emotional culinary trip that lasts for a whole year as the dream of writing the book slowly turns into reality. And, while Luis’s quest helps him to reunite with his people, the viewer is able to observe the real life goings-on behind a two-star Michelin restaurant created by a devoted family who are always passionate about their work and determined to offer people the best of themselves.

How many hands made this film

The scale of the collaboration

Principal cast & crew: 6

These are the principals we have on file — the full crew ran to the hundreds. Every film this size was made by far more hands than any credits list ever names.

Why a floor?

This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
