Within the hallowed and bizarre halls of the Sonic Catering Institute, a culinary performance collective led by the imperious Gwendoline Christie seeks to perfect their art of "sonic catering," transforming the sounds and actions of food preparation into avant-garde theater. The troupe, including the sensitive Asa Butterfield and the intense Ariane Labed, finds their creative process under the microscope, their every culinary clash and artistic grievance documented by a hapless writer, Makis Papadimitriou, who suffers from chronic digestive turmoil. As the pressure to create a magnum opesis mounts, artistic rivalries ferment, egos curdle, and the line between performance and reality begins to grotesquely blur. Directed by Peter Strickland, this darkly comic and sensually charged drama simmers with peculiar tension, exploring the volatile ingredients of artistic collaboration, personal suffering, and the very nature of taste.
