With three Michelin stars elBulli catapulted its head chef, Ferran Adria, into the rarified space of global celebrity, spearheading the molecular gastronomy movement and earning him the distinction of being the World's Greatest Chef. Yet behind Adria's success was a lesser-known if equally important element: the drive and passion of his younger brother Albert

Two years after elBulli closed its doors, Albert is in the midst of a herculean creative adventure. In Parallel, Barcelona’s crumbling theatre district, Albert is building a gastronomic mile as seen in this fascinating haute cuisine documentary.
