A gentle, romantic film about an unlikely
friendship and the art of cooking. Gregor (Josef Ostendorf), a chef
who owns a small restaurant, likes to spend his spare time in a
street cafe. He develops a fondness for the waitress, Eden (Charlotte
Roche) and her young daughter, Leonie (Leonie Stepp), who has Down's
Syndrome. After Gregor makes a birthday cake for Eden, using his
own homemade chocolate, Eden starts to visit him at his restaurant
to sample more of his cuisine and a close, platonic relationship
grows between them. But as Eden's marriage to Xaver (Devid Streisow)
flourishes and she becomes pregnant Xaver starts to grow jealous
of Gregor, which leads to a confrontation between them. Gregor decides
to leave town but not before trying to see Eden one last time.
