The internationally recognized and renowned French actor Pierre Richard sets out on a thrilling and amusing culinary exploration journey across Slavic countries. Thirteen states, all sharing common Slavic culture and tradition, see him accompanied and hosted by distinguished celebrities from the world of pop culture and art. With the help of local guides, the traveller unearths the immense wealth and varieties of a culinary tradition, betraying a common »Slavic soul« as well as an incredible diversity of local traditions, their mutual influences and mixings with the neighbouring cultures.
A chat on the street, the market as a meeting point, a quick snack at a local restaurant on the one side, and top-notch winegrowers and eminent chefs, transforming local milieus into world-famous gastronomic wonders on the other – all this is part of Pierre's unforgettable film diary.
An enthusiastic taster as well as artist, Pierre cannot help but chat with renowned artists, musicians, actors and writers, making an indelible imprint on these magnificent and for many still secretive regions. The show will catch the bustle and smells of postmodern city streets and invite the spectator into still somewhat modest yet welcoming country houses, where the secrets of good old cooking are still well kept.
Pierre opens the doors to many hearts, bottles, restaurants and wine cellars, with witty locals and top artists readily awaiting you. His invitation is an honest one; take it up and join him At the Table with Slavs.
