The Hundred-Foot Journey Page #6

Synopsis: The family of talented cook, Hassan Kadam, has a life filled with both culinary delights and profound loss. Drifting through Europe after fleeing political violence in India that killed the family restaurant business and their mother, the Kadams arrive in France. Once there, a chance auto accident and the kindness of a young woman, Marguerite, in the village of Saint-Antonin-Noble-Val inspires Papa Kadam to set up a Indian restaurant there. Unfortunately, this puts the Kadams in direct competition with the snobbish Madame Mallory's acclaimed haute cuisine establishment across the street where Marguerite also works as a sous-chef. The resulting rivalry eventually escalates in personal intensity until it goes too far. In response, there is a bridging of sides initiated by Hassan, Marguerite and Madame Mallory herself, both professional and personal, that encourages an understanding that will change both sides forever.

We have to make use

of what is close to us.

Then we pray to God that it works.

- Careful.

- Okay.

Right.

I'll go and get the wine.

Pull, pull.

Yaw.!

Magic!

Nice?

Wow.

It's perfect.

Papa,

it's not like in India,

where you stand by the gate

and drag people in

as they're passing by.

Papa, you should come inside.

You don't want to look foolish.

- Bonjour.

- Bonjour.

Oh, going for a walk? Oh!

Hello, baby.

- I love dogs.

- Oh, yes.

Is it a boy or a girl?

- It's a girl.

- It's a girl. Oh. Ooh.

Very frisky. Mmm.

- What's her name?

- Uh, Bonnie.

Bonnie. Bonnie, come,

I'll feed you something.

This is a new restaurant

we opened today.

It's a Indian restaurant.

Great food. Chicken tikka...

Thank you, but, my dog?

You should also be there.

- Why?

- You're looking nice.

- I don't know what to say.

- Go on.

Stand there.

See, somebody coming there.

- Bonjour.

- Bonsoir.

Smile. You've got good teeth. Just smile.

Ca va?

Namaste.

Oh, God!

- Oh, my God.

- So sorry.

Don't worry, don't worry,

young man.

We have...

We put in the food turmeric powder,

which is like a medicine.

Hello, little angel.

You are in for a treat!

Welcome to Maison Mumbai!

Be careful. Be careful.

You're trying green chili?

Let me explain to you.

You take a bite, and start chewing it.

And take a small bite of the chili,

mix it with the food...

- Ah, Lady Shepherd.

- Madame Mallory.

Bonsoir, monsieur.

Is it a wedding party over there?

A funeral.

The death of good taste in St. Antonio.

Oh.

- Bonjour. Bon appetit.

- Bonjour. Merci.

Darling, you've only just had breakfast.

Oh, it was very light.

There you are,

Mayor. You're not at the town hall.

Madame Mallory, good morning.

"Good morning"? I don't think so.

Yes, my secretary said something

about a complaint about noise.

Oui. I wish to make it officiellement.

Madame, may I offer you

a word of caution?

These people are different.

They are not French.

Some in the village, the worst sort,

say ugly things about them.

Be careful, you are not seen

in sympathy with them.

I am rarely accused

of being in sympathy with anyone.

Au revoir, madame.

Marguerite!

Thank you for the books!

What books?

The books!

Bonjour.

Hello.

Did you catch anything yet?

Mmm. No.

Uh, maybe use smaller hooks

for this kind of perch.

Those ones are big, I think.

And use worms, not bread.

You're not supposed to be helping me.

I thought, uh...

I thought I was the enemy.

Perhaps I'm deliberately deceiving you.

You don't know.

Maybe you are.

See you.

Marguerite!

Marguerite, you know, uh,

the sweet corn from the market?

Yeah.

I'm finding it quite tough, dense.
