Yes, we're in Brittany, meaning there are potatoes and pigs within reach. But with this chef, the famous notion of regional, so frequent in gastronomy, takes on a shifting, fluid dimension: for Roellinger regional means the sea. The nearby sea, the English Channel, which can be seen from the restaurant windows. The distant sea, the other sea, beyond the seas, dangerous, buccaneering, on the spice route. At Roellinger's it's not mere make-believe: in search of his ancestors, he discovered Reunion Island and its treasures. So he can make dishes that at once partake of mainland France and the islands, domestic and expatriate. Other than this real and imagined geography, the film deals with the chef's life: he wasn't supposed to become a cook but to brilliantly continue his studies. The film is structured around three recipes like a sort of film menu, dealing with the genesis of a dish, how it is prepared and how it defines an aspect of Roellinger's creative methods.
