The story is about nine-year-old Puck, who lives with her father, Chef Maro, above his popular restaurant. After the death of her mother, it’s just the two of them now. Puck misses both her mother and her father, who is always busy cooking. She wants nothing more than to help him, but ‘if you can’t taste, you have no place in the kitchen.’ Due to Puck’s burning desire to learn how to taste properly, seven Flavor Ghosts come to visit. These colorful characters—salty, spicy, sour, fatty, umami, bitter, and sweet—whisk Puck away to their adventurous dream worlds. There, she learns all about their unique powers. But can they teach Puck to taste so well that she can finally help Maro in his kitchen?
This program is part of Festival de Betovering: a cultural celebration where children are challenged, laugh themselves silly, are moved and surprised, sit on the edge of their seats, surpass themselves, get inspired, and let their imagination run at full speed!
