"Matryoshka" is a story of love, friendship and good food. This film is a travel journal of a cook from Britain. He goes to Moscow to get her work-based experience at a restaurant, where his friend pastry chef works. Upon his arrival, our cook looses his passport and faces a number of problems: he is coned by a taxi-driver, robbed by a random guy, and shocked by a few peculiarities of Russian life. Our lost English guy is saved by a Rusiian girl, and this particular meeting brings him to a small home-style café called Matryoshka. The person in charge is Lusya, a girl’s mother. The woman fi nds out about our cook's culinary talent and puts him behind the stove of her family’s business. Our friend combines Russian and British culinary traditions, which makes “Matryoshka” a new star of Moscow’s culinary scene. Lusya and her daughter are already making plans about the restaurant’s future as well as paying off all their depts, but it’s time for their competitors to step up, and not just the business kind, but also for our friend’s heart.
