The beginning of the film: On a sunny morning, the little girl Charlie wakes up and sees a strange black man standing in the kitchen, cooking, busy in and out of the kitchen. After asking his mother, Charlie learned that this black man is the new chef in their family, and his name is Church. It turned out that mr. church accepted a six-month employment, and was employed by Richard to take care of the mother and daughter. Charlie's mother was judged by the doctor to have only six months to live, and accompanied Charlie's mother through the last time of her life. The attendant benefit is that Church will get a lifetime salary from Richard.
mr. church is mysterious and versatile. He is an excellent cook. He says the secret of cooking is jazz. So as long as jazz is playing, mr. church must be cooking. Mr. church can also play the piano, draw pictures, sew and love reading.
at the beginning, Charlie had a strong resistance to the new stranger. But mr. church's superb cooking skills conquered Charlie with delicious food, and his taste in books and music also influenced Charlie. Mr. church set up a small library in Charlie's home. If Charlie wants to read books, he has to register with a library card. Therefore, under the guidance of mr. church, she became fond of reading, and she also liked the jazz that mr. church listened to while cooking.
"My mother is like the sun to me. I always keep warm in her arms. I still remember that I was always eager to get up and just wanted to have a look at her, but the sun was so hot at this time that I felt that everything around me would be burned. If I got too close, my skin would be burned. But mr. church, he could walk through this sea of fire calmly without being affected by her at all. He was as calm as the moon.
Warm family ties run through. mr. church has accompanied three generations of this family, from Charlie's mother to the next generation of Charlie, and from Charlie to the next generation of Yi in this family, with familiar taste, elegant hobbies and respect for each other's privacy.
When mr. church fell ill, Charlie took care of mr. church. At this moment, Charlie discovered that after watching mr. church cook for so many years, she had learned it imperceptibly and made delicious meals easily.
After mr. church's death, Charlie woke up one day and heard the familiar sounds of jazz and kitchen. It turned out that his daughter Yi was standing on a stool, cooking breakfast according to mr. church's way. At that moment, the taste in the memory gushed out, familiar and warm. Love is passed down in a special way.
"He's either playing with flowers or painting,
he's cooking,
he's cooking or playing the piano,
he's playing the piano or reading to me ...
I realize that mr. church has been teaching himself all kinds of talents."
