GIGI

15 min 57 sec

When Gigi discovers the bokit in Guadeloupe, it’s a culinary love at first sight that changes his life. Upon returning to Switzerland, he decides to embark on the adventure of running a food truck, with no prior experience in the restaurant business, driven by the desire to introduce this Antillean dish to Swiss festival-goers. This documentary traces his journey, from the meticulous preparation of dishes to the excitement of service, including long nights of cleaning up. Through each bokit served, we discover a passionate man, his family ties, and a quest for meaning that goes far beyond cooking. Gigi embodies the meeting of cultures and the power of a passion born from a simple discovery.
