This sexy, romantic drama from Italy looks at love through the lens of food: lush, delectable, and sometimes maddening. Like a perfect Italian mascarpone, naïve Antonio is soft and spreadable, but before long his once-delicious charms start to sour for Lorenzo, his partner and meal ticket. A sudden breakup forces Antonio to find refuge in the form of a roommate, the sexually adventurous Denis, who helps him land a job at a bakery with the flirtatious Luca. Before long, Antonio is exploring his culinary and erotic talents, whipping up recipes both in and out of the bedroom. Premiering to much acclaim at the 2021 Cannes Film Festival, this gay treat is sure to delight.
