Sauté(2023)

Everything is eaten, little is digested

Sauté is a Greek comedy series following Sotiria "Sote" Vokakis, an obsessive and reclusive chef forced back to Greece to judge a provocative cooking reality show. The premise ignites conflict on multiple fronts: Sote despises television, the show's producer is her estranged daughter—they haven't spoken in over a decade—and she's mysteriously lost her sense of taste just as she's about to take the spotlight. The collision between Sote's abrasive personality, her fractured family ties, and the absurdity of judging food she can no longer taste creates a darkly comedic pressure cooker. As the competition unfolds, Sote must navigate her daughter's expectations, her own professional crisis, and the possibility of genuine reconnection. The series balances sharp culinary humor with deeper emotional stakes, exploring whether a woman who's spent years pushing people away can find her way back.
