Soul Kitchen is a 2009 German comedy film directed by Fatih AkΔ±n, with a screenplay by AkΔ±n and Adam Bousdoukos. Bousdoukos based the story on his own experiences as the owner of a Greek tavern named "Taverna", where AkΔ±n was a regular customer. AkΔ±n filmed the movie entirely in the Hamburg area.
In Hamburg, Zinos has a restaurant serving poor-man's fare; he gets by, but his girlfriend has taken a job in Shanghai, he's hurt his back and can't cook, his feckless brother can be on daily parole from jail if only Zinos employs him (though his brother doesn't want to work), a school acquaintance wants to buy the restaurant property, and the tax authority and health inspector are on his case. Zinos hires a temperamental chef and loses all his customers, signs a power of attorney giving his brother full authority at the restaurant, and buys a ticket to Shanghai. Is this a recipe for disaster?
***SPOILER ALERT***
I loved the characters; I would really like to see them in another movie.
After all, z Germarnz have a sense of humor!
I was having back pain too by the time of this scene.
