Every evening the Master Cook and his absent minded Apprentice use their imagination in the kitchen in he attempt to re create the mystic Pentecomposta, the soup that fulfills one's every desire. Every evening, having been amazed by the magical dishes, two distinguished guests leave the room satisfied and convinced to have been illuminated. But one night the Apprentice gets one of the ingredients wrong and the Master dies of poisoning! There is no time for escape or hesitation, the guests are about to knock at the door and the ceremony must proceed without arousing anyone's suspicion- The Apprentice pretends to be the Master and welcomes the guests: a Film Director, a Publicity Agent and a strange Girl who asks too many questions... Under the influence of food, every character soon reveals his or her true nature, in a barrage of weird ideas, professional frustrations, love failures, religious hysteria, attempted rape, over reactions, psychoanalytical nightmares and unwanted apparitions. At the end the unexpected miracle takes place, and our hero's most secret desires become true. Written by eugenio donadoni See less
