The world is made of those who eat and those who get eaten. Raimundo Nonato, our protagonist, finds an alternative way: he cooks. He cooks first in a bar, then in an Italian Restaurant and then in prison - how did he end up in jail? He cooks and learns how to get by in a society divided in two between those who eat and those who get eaten. What he learns, are a series of rules he uses to his advantage: in the end, the cook must also get his share of food and only he knows which part tastes best. Estômago is an adult fable on power, sex and cooking.
""Stomach," a suspenseful film that blends elements of humor and drama in equal measure, presents its story in a non-linear way, filled with surprises that may cause some to lose their appetite, but ensure the movie stands out as something unique. Star of the story, João Miguel is flawless. No wonder he won the Best Actor award at the 2007 Rio Festival."
