“The Hundred Foot Journey” is the story of Hassan Kadam and his family, led by Papa, who move to a quaint village in the South of France with the grand plan of opening an Indian restaurant in the picturesque countryside. They are undeterred by the fact that only 100-feet opposite stands a Michelin starred classical French eatery.

However, upon encountering the icy proprietress, Madame Mallory (Helen Mirren), the Kadam family realize they may have bitten off more than they can chew. Outraged by the new arrivals, Madame Mallory is determined to have their business shut down.

As cultures clash and food flies, an all-out war escalates between the two establishments — until, that is, Hassan's passion and talent for French cuisine begin to enchant Madame Mallory and even she can't deny this young chef could have what it takes to garner even more acclaim for her beloved restaurant.

This, along with his new-found friendship with her beautiful sous chef Marguerite, starts to weave a magic between the two cultures and, despite their different tastes, they discover an unlikely recipe for success that surprises them all.

“The Hundred Foot Journey” is rated PG. It plays Wednesday, Sept. 10 through Saturday, Sept.13 at 7 p,m, and Sunday, Sept. 14 at 3 and 7 p.m.
