Synopsis
Luis Moya, screenwriter for television shows such as Money Heist (La Casa de Papel), returns to Alicante to help his brother Kiko and his cousin Alberto to write a book about the cuisine of their family restaurant: L´Escaleta, which has just received two Michelin stars and is ranked among Spain and Portugal's 25 best restaurants.
Together, they begin a culinary and emotional trip that lasts a year, while the dream of writing the book turns into reality.
