But then his father&#8217;s past, in which he did business with the Germans during the occupation, catches up with him. The scandal leads Ulysse and his mother to a village in the provinces, far away from Paris, to wait out events until the dust has settled.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Ulysse, a sensitive boy who is more interested in art than the administration of an industrial group, has to spend his time tutoring because his performance suffers from his lack of interest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But his life was about to change radically when he made the acquaintance of the bearded and spirited Cyrano, who leads an outsider&#8217;s life in the village. Years ago, after unexpectedly losing a prestigious cooking competition, the celebrity chef burned down his award-winning restaurant. The locals, many of whom had found employment there, have never forgiven him since.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The young man and the old man take a liking to each other and Cyrano begins to introduce him to the art of cooking without Ulysse&#8217;s mother&#8217;s knowledge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-jetpack-tiled-gallery aligncenter is-style-rectangular\"><div
