SYNOPSIS: In this TLN Media Group original production, an Italian immigrant in Montreal, Chef Leonardo combines his talent for cooking, singing, and acting on his children’s web show. However, he struggles to gain a strong following, and his program only ever has a small number of views. On the other hand, his competitor, Giovanni Bagaglione, has established an extremely successful web program, which is acclaimed by children and parents alike. Giovanni lacks the honesty and kindness of Leonardo, and takes every opportunity to ensure Leonardo’s show will fail. Chef Leonardo’s show is at stake; he is running out of funds to produce further episodes. Puppet Nonna Maria, Chef Leonardo’s caring neighbour, finds a way to invite famous singer Mariucci to his web show as a guest, hoping it will increase the number of views. Chef Leonardo puts all his passion and money into Mariucci’s visit, which will decide the destiny of his web show.

The screening will be followed by a Q&A.
