"Toast"?
Based on the award-winning book "Toast: A Hungry Boy" by British national treasure food writer Nigel Slater, childhood memories and his love for food will appear on the big screen.
The mother of young Nigel Slater (Freddie Highmore) has never been a good cook. She can't even make simple soup. The most common thing that the family of three eats is toast.
When my mother died of an asthma attack, my father could only eat canned food as a substitute.
Later, the cleaner (Helena Bonham Carter) who was good at cooking seized his father's stomach and became his stepmother.
The growing hostility made Nigel choose to join a home economics class and learn to make various sweets to challenge his stepmother who was an excellent cook.
The father endured the two's constant bickering every day and was forced to eat two endless desserts made one after another.
The war between the two finally stopped after his father's sudden death.
17-year-old Nigel packed his bags, found a job in the kitchen, and entered the glorious palace of extraordinary cooking skills.
