Another title is added to the now extensive list of cine-panettoni. During the Christmas holidays, dishes and traditional recipes are the protagonists of family meals and dinners. Gualtiero Saporito is very happy to be able to put himself to the test again because he thinks he’s a great cook even if he’s just a big mess. His tenacity is rewarded the day the owner of a very famous catering company, Furio Galli, offers him to become the chef of the brigade that will take part in the tender to prepare food for the next G7. Of course, Galli’s intentions are far from clear, but good Gualtiero happily accepts as his dream finally seems to be coming true. So he’ll have to deal with an assistant chef who doesn’t feel the flavors, a teetotal sommelier and a pastry chef who comes out of the cakes instead of preparing them. The world of chefs, now a familiar phenomenon, is the scene of Neri Parenti’s new comedy, which twelve years after “Natale a Miami” (2005) finds the most famous exponent of the bold and light laughter in the time of reindeer and prizes: Massimo Boldi . A large team of well-known faces from the Bel Paese, including showman Dario Bandiera, Rocio Munoz Morales, Paolo Conticini and former Miss Italy Francesca Chillemi, join the protagonist Boldi.
