perfect pitch. Displaced from their native India, the Kadam family, led by
Papa, settles in the quaint village of Saint-Antonin-Noble-Val in the south of

to settle down and open an Indian restaurant, the Maison Mumbai. That is, until
the chilly chef proprietress of Le Saule Pleureur, a Michelin starred,
classical French restaurant run by Madame Mallory, gets wind of it. Her icy
protests against the new Indian restaurant a hundred feet from her own escalate
to all-out war between the two restaurants. (preview screening on the weekend and season
