Synopsis
What's it like in a student canteen in Teheran (Tehran, Iran) anyway? Between 600 kebab a day and nagging students, we find three cooks and a kitchen helper working in a small space. With wit and irony, they shop in the market and cook in the kitchen, philosophizing about food and about life in general. This is an unpretentious microcosm where we learn more in private moments about interesting views on life. And still there is more that makes this place special.
