El Bulli
"Located in Catalonia, Spain, Adrià's restaurant, El Bulli, closes for six months each year while Adrià and his team of culinary experts design a fresh, innovative menu for the next season. Not content with anything ordinary, Adrià's scientific approach involves intense research and experimentation to create a variety of dishes that have never been experienced before. Filmmaker Gereon Wetzel goes "behind the scenes" of the kitchen for a glimpse into the creative process of the culinary arts, exploring the methods and approaches that go in to creating the perfect menu. Over the course of the six months, Adrià pushes himself and his team to develop new recipes, always innovating and never repeating themselves to deliver a 30-course menu that his guests will never forget."--Container.
