Sébastien Tulard’s film Repostero y Chef (Sugar and Stars), based on the true story of the pastry chef Yazid Ichemrahen and his autobiographical book about how pastry-making saved his life, opens today in Madrid.
The film was recently presented at the “France is on screen” Festival organised by UNIFRANCE and the Instituto Francés in Madrid. It stars Riadh Belaïche, known on social media as Just Riadh, who makes his film debut in this film, alongside Loubna Abidar, Christine Citti and Marwan Amesker.
Ever since he was a child, Yazid has dreamed of becoming a pastry chef. Despite growing up in families and foster homes, his strength and determination will lead him to work for the world’s best chefs from Paris to Monaco. Together with them, he will learn everything he needs to reach the pastry elite and become the best.
