English titles: The Secret of the Grain; Couscous.
English translation of the French title: The Grain and the Mullet.
An elderly worker of Arab ethnicity living in France is laid off from his job and decides to start a restaurant on an abandoned ship.
A collection of clichés, for the most part, albeit reasonable ones. That gives the film a deja vu quality, no doubt, but does not make it unwatchable. It is not well filmed, relying heavily on close-ups to no particular advantage (among other noticeable stylistic flaws).
