Ferran Adria, the extravagant

Ferran Adria is today the well-known leader in world cuisine. Fusion, experimentation, provocation... gastronomes contest the best term to qualify Fer­ran Adria's cuisine that is above all creative. When the appetite for knowledge nourishes a talent, When technology uses artistic intuition. Ferran Adria yearns for scientific knowledge to be able to go beyond the limits of food culture - and he has done everything to achieve his objective to the point of creating controversy. This film is an intriguing journey into a universe that combines inventiveness and research. We go behind the scenes of one of the most highly prized restaurants and of the very first workshop of culinary research in the world. The restaurant El Bulli opens only six months of the year. The remaining six months, chemists and cooks work together and devote their time to a multitude of methodical studies on products to create 140 new recipes for a menu that is en­tirely renewed each year. We are privileged to witness this amazing culinary feat that builds bridges between pleasure and taste, and knowledge.
