剧情介绍
Maravan, a charming young immigrant from Sri Lanka works in Zurich as a sous-chef, but dreams of opening his own restaurant where traditional Indian kitchen, as his grandmother taught it to him, crosses over with avant-garde "molecular kitchen". Turns out his creations are highly aphrodisiatic, so much so that when he casually invites his colleague Andrea (Jessica Schwarz) over she ends up seducing him, even though he's pretty conservative and believes in arranged marriage and she's actually a lesbian. While the two are getting their business started, Maravan's cousin returns to his homeland and is recruited by the underground army Tamil Tigers. Marvan tries to bail him out, but also discovers that one of his clients, the superseedy Dalmann, is actually an arms dealer -- to the Tamil Tigers! Oh, and he's also sleeping with the girlfriend of Andrea, who's a lesbian and a prostitute (for men). At the same time, Maravan's nan is ill and has to come to Zurich for treatment, and the toothsome Sandana, with whom he was arranged to be married but who gave him the cold shoulder, seems not averse to rekindling the flame ...

从斯里兰卡的爱情食谱,以及寓居苏黎士的难民,到猛虎组织的军火走私,这部影片几乎快把斯里兰卡都覆盖完了。可惜故事不吸引人,而且其中的价值观或者有些问题,因此影片不算成功。如果仅讲得美食,或许会是部好片。另外,越是来自混乱之国的人,越是有家国情怀,而忘了首先是做好自己。

一个斯里兰卡男孩 继承了祖母的催情食谱 靠着这个在瑞士赚钱。好朋友回国参加了斯里兰卡的反政府武装 他为了能筹钱获得与朋友通话的机会乃至想把朋友赎出来 哪怕是给军火商服务也可以忍受。直到好友去世 他终于不再忍耐 用祖母用过的药杀死了军火商。题材其实挺好 故事写的有点温吞。

影片以美食为切入,但该线索随后被不断打断,情节核心转为斯里兰卡泰米尔民族与军队的几十年内战,于是观众很快看到以移民身份居于瑞士的男主角陷于个人反叛,军火贩子和同乡恋人的复杂关系中,这样需要借助闪回来交代的政治背景和美食烹饪格格不入,但后者也许讽刺地成了影片唯一引起观众兴趣的内容。
