Antonio De Benedetto is an Italian chef with a mission: changing the world through food. His apprentices in the kitchen are Mirko Piras, a boy born with Down syndrome who hopes to become a great chef "just like Antonio", and Jessica Berta, who dreams of becoming a pastry chef. Their cuisine is the beating heart of a unique and revolutionary restaurant and hotel. Both have a staff of young men and women with Down syndrome or with intellectual disabilities who come from all over Italy to train and work in the hotel business so that they can take their place at the table of life. It is their path to freedom and independence
