Fasten à la Carte

The film follows Gilles "Günni" Demmonget, a gourmet critic who loses his sense of taste and smell after a head injury. As he prepares for a public cooking duel against his young rival, Paul Scheffke, he checks into a fasting hotel on the island of Sylt for recovery. This setting provides not only solitude but also a chance to reconnect with fasting instructor Marit Hansen and confront his ex-lover Diana, who unexpectedly moves in next door.

As a family-oriented comedy, Fasten à la Carte offers entertaining moments that blend culinary competition with personal relationships. The cast includes Dietmar Bär, Maxim Mehmet, and Inka Friedrich, among others, each contributing to the light-hearted narrative that unfolds in this unique premise. This film can be appealing for collectors interested in TV movies from the 2010s that explore food culture through a comedic lens.
