About the film

Prepare to be drawn into the mouth-watering mystery of REDRESS, where brilliance at the table coexists with unanswered questions lurking far from the spotlight.

Paskal Jankovski (Clovis Cornillac, King of My Castle, AF FFF24) is hours away from the announcement of his third Michelin star - the ultimate consecration in global gastronomy - when he vanishes during a dawn hunting trip. At his side that day is Antoine, his trusted sous-chef (Julien de Saint‑Jean, Lie with Me, AF FFF23), whose ties to the Jankovski family run deeper than the kitchen, adding an unspoken layer of intrigue to the investigation that follows.

Just 20 years old, Clara (Julia de Nunez), Paskal’s daughter, unexpectedly inherits the family restaurant, a bastion of French culinary artistry suddenly beseiged by uncertainty. The team, the produce, the rituals of service all hold firm, but the silence left behind grows louder. Two years later, a cryptic invitation draws her to Taiwan, where the puzzle begins to shift shape once again.

Event includes:

• Sparkling wine on arrival
• Petits fours
• A unique 3-course dinner inspired by The Taste of Things, with paired wines with each course
• A ticket to the screening of Redress at The Kino, with reserved seats

Please arrive promptly at 5:45pm as dinner will be served at 6pm. Please note that the Bayview Room only has communal tables, however we will ensure that you are seated with your guests as per your booking.
