Yearning for a better life, a single mother with a passion for cooking gets a shot at greatness when her son enters her into a top reality cooking show.

A tender story about the challenges of motherhood, Tomas Lutuli Brickhill’s no-budget romcom became Zimbabwe’s first feature film to make it onto Netflix. With an all-Zimbabwean cast of young actors and distinguished figures in music, comedy and poetry, Cook Off is a feel-good tale of resilience and hope and a refreshing look at contemporary life in Harare, Zimbabwe.
