Our suggestions

"Anyone who loves gastronomy and cinema has already found a movie to watch! Starring Stephen Graham (from Peaky Blinders and for creating and starring in the Netflix hit show Adolescence), Boiling Point is a British production told in one continuous shot, that brings the "adventures" of a chef during a tumultuous night shift - in which he must deal with health inspections, critics, and even a customer having a severe allergic reaction. In this way, in just a few hours, a little of the reality of kitchens is condensed - which, despite being tough, is rewarding for its professionals. Chefs will identify themselves, while the general public will get to know this reality beyond reality shows like Master Chef."
