Salmon

August (Lucas Lynggaard Tønnesen, 1899, The Rain), a budding young chef driven by audacious dreams, is bestowed with a rare chance at a prestigious Nordic Michelin-starred restaurant. Within the heart of this establishment, an unwaveringly unconventional culinary virtuoso named André takes the reins. Throughout an intense evening, André subjects August to relentless trials, pushing the boundaries of his capabilities. Battling a paralyzing fear of failure, August endeavours to cloak his missteps, unwittingly setting the stage for an impending catastrophe. "Salmon" explores the relentless pursuit of excellence within the competitive crucible of a Nordic kitchen, where the ever-looming spectre of replacement lends an air of perpetual urgency.
