In “The Hundred-Foot Journey,” Hassan Kadam (Manish Dayal) is a culinary ingénue with the
gastronomic equivalent of perfect pitch. Displaced from their native India, the Kadam family, led by Papa
(Om Puri), settles in the quaint village of Saint-Antonin-Noble-Val in the south of France. Filled with
charm, it is both picturesque and elegant – the ideal place to settle down and open an Indian restaurant,
Maison Mumbai. That is, until the chilly chef proprietress of Le Saule Pleureur, a Michelin-starred,
classical French restaurant run by Madame Mallory (Academy Award®-winner Helen Mirren) gets wind of
it. Her icy protests against the new Indian restaurant a hundred feet from her own escalate into a heated
battle between the two establishments until Hassan’s passion for French haute cuisine — and for
Madame Mallory’s enchanting sous chef, Marguerite (Charlotte Le Bon) — combine with his mysteriously-
delicious talent to weave magic between their two cultures and imbue Saint-Antonin with the flavors of life
that even Madame Mallory cannot ignore. At first Madame Mallory's culinary rival, she eventually
recognizes Hassan's gift as a chef and takes him under her wing.

“The Hundred-Foot Journey” abounds with flavors that burst across the tongue. A stimulating triumph
over exile, blossoming with passion and heart, it is a portrayal of two worlds colliding and one young
man’s drive to find the comfort of home, in every pot, wherever he may be.

ONE-LINER:

two establishments, until Le Saule Pleureur’s icy proprietress, Madame Mallory, recognizes her rival’s
undeniable brilliance for preparing masterful meals.
