French Film Festival Aotearoa 2023: Sugar and Stars

A feel good film that will have you laughing and crying Sugar and Stars is sprinkled with heart and prepared with a whole lot of soul.
Ever since childhood, all Yazid ever wanted was to cook delicious desserts and provide for his adoptive family. Securing an apprenticeship at a prestigious Parisian restaurant, he must suddenly learn to navigate the elitist pastry world under the guidance of the chefs he so idolises.
Throughout his journey, Yazid must grapple with homelessness, family issues and a lack of belonging, completely set on his goal - to compete for Paris at the International Pastry championship.
