## Synopsis (in-house rewrite)

A single woman gets a job cooking for France’s president and discovers the price of high-stakes culinary diplomacy. After accepting a role as the Élysée kitchen’s resident chef, she navigates protocol, ego, and an official palate that prefers simplicity. The film serves up a tasteful slice of power dynamics with minimal flavor of its own.
