The Culinary Zinema Section of the 72nd San Sebastian Film Festival will host the World Premiere of ‘Mugaritz. No bread no dessert', directed by Paco Plaza.
The original Movistar Plus+ documentary film in collaboration with Fonte Films will open the prestigious gastronomic cycle of the Zinemaldia on September 23, a section that brings together cinema and gastronomy.
The proposal by Paco Plaza, director of ‘Verónica’ (Selected in the Made in Spain Section in 2017) and ‘La abuela’ (Official Selection 2021), goes beyond gastronomy. The spectator will become an exceptional witness to the reinvention process that takes place in Andoni Luis Aduriz's restaurant, one of the most creative and influential chefs on the international scene.
Synopsis
The Mugaritz team works behind closed doors to design a gastronomic proposal in which there is no room for ‘great successes’ from the past. Each season is an unpredictable leap into the void. A path full of questions that, with luck, are answered at the opening of the restaurant each season with the aim of challenging curious diners who take up the challenge.
For Paco Plaza, ‘It is impossible to think of a more favorable and coherent setting to show our work on Mugaritz than the Zinemaldia; both are rooted in the Basque Country so that their branches reach as far as possible. I am very happy that the people of San Sebastian will be the first to enjoy our tribute to this restaurant, which is much more than just a place where food is served’.

The launch of this original Movistar Plus+ is another major leap forward in the platform's original production strategy. Movistar Plus+ becomes this way the home of talent, the place to support creators to tell their stories in the best possible way.
Mugaritz', which will be shown on Movistar Plus+ after its theatrical release, will show the creative universe of Aduriz and his team, understanding gastronomy as a space to break certain rules and rethink conventions in which food is nothing more than a pretext to explore frontiers.
