Eleven-year-old Mary has a passion for cooking and dreams of become a great chef. While her homelife is defined by two older brothers, football and ready meals, her grandmother Emer - with whom she has a very special relationship - encourages her to make her dreams come true. But every path has its obstacles, and facing them turns into quite an adventure.

Enzo d’Alò adapts the book by Irish novelist Roddy Doyle (“The Commitments”) and presents a colorful animated family story, a delicate coming-of-age tale filled with joy, laughter, memories and history.
