What Estômago: A Gastronomic Story Is About
An unemployed man arrives in the city, starts as a dishwasher in a restaurant, and his life changes as he learns to cook. The film braids that rise together with a second timeline set in prison, and the movement between them sustains the suspense, since how he ended up inside is withheld for a long time. Food here is currency rather than pleasure: whoever cooks holds the power, in a restaurant or in a cell block. Marcos Jorge keeps the tone between comedy and cruelty. Unlike most food films, the appetising images are put to a distinctly uncomfortable purpose.
