The Golden Spurtle
Since the Stone Age, few culinary traditions have endured as well as a hearty bowl of porridge in the morning. This World Cup celebrates the world's oldest recipe! The charismatic heart of the event is Charlie Miller. Despite his fragile health, he's giving it his all one last time to make the tournament a success and secure his legacy.
The joy and pride of this small, close-knit community radiates from every scene. With a generous dose of Scottish self-mockery, the Australian director and cinematographer create a playful, nostalgic atmosphere, as if they've uncovered a hidden world in the heart of Scotland. A world reminiscent of a Wes Anderson film, complete with a perfectly matching musical score.
A film that teaches you that getting porridge right is harder than nuclear physics, that you always have to stir clockwise, otherwise…! But above all, even if you might not like porridge at all, it leaves you with a particularly warm and blissful feeling. A small, soothing miracle of a film.
