International Panorama: Finland

Following the death of his wife, professional chef Cheng (Pak Hon Chu) travels with his young son (Lucas Hsuan) to a remote village in Finland to connect with an old Finnish friend.

In Detail

Upon arrival, nobody in the village seems to know his friend but local café owner Sirkka (Anna-Maija Tuokko) offers him accommodation and in return Cheng helps her in the kitchen surprising the locals with the delights of Chinese cuisine. Gradually his cooking encourages these vastly different cultures to connect, and Cheng is soon a celebrated member of the community.

Unfortunately, his tourist visa is soon to run out and it’s up to the villagers to come up with a plan to help him stay.

Warm and funny with beautiful Lapland landscapes.
