Criollo

Story

Synopsis

Criollo explores the gastronomic world of Uruguay, immersing us in its rich roots, flavors, aromas, and heritage. Through the life of celebrated Uruguayan chef Hugo Soca—raised on his grandmother's cooking in the heart of the countryside—the film takes us on a journey through the nation's culinary traditions, from homemade wine to Pampas barbecue, simmering fish stew, and everything in between. Soca's rural upbringing and deep connection to authentic flavors have earned him the title of ambassador of Uruguayan cuisine. Shared meals, humor, and a passion for food are at the heart of this joyous celebration, beautifully captured with stunning photography.
