Sonia is a customs officer in a small border village in Quebec. When her daughter Lili-Beth enters the Little Chefs competition, the mother fears that her child will once again be a victim of bullying, especially since she has no cooking experience. Sonia manages to convince Victor, a French chef living in New York with whom the first contact did not go very well, to show her daughter the basics of cooking and teach her a dish that could help her win. When the recipe practiced by Lili-Beth turns out to be a real delight, all the inhabitants – initially reluctant to help Sonia – rally behind the new pride of the region.
The performances of Julie Le Breton, as well as comedians Dominique Paquet and Oussama Fares in charming supporting roles, aptly support the gentle humor of the script. We should also commend the director’s decision to avoid burdening the story with an overly emphasized romance between the chef and the customs officer. It is the (strong) women in the film who capture the attention of the viewers.” Translated into English from Le Devoir
