The Faroe Islands are an ancient microcosmos of exciting products, Nordic history, a thriving seafood industry, ravishing waterfalls, eccentric personalities and the culinary pearl: KOKS. Prior to COVID-19, people took immense detours to dine at KOKS, an eatery serving food sourced from just 500 square miles of produce, in a rugged terrain and subpolar climate.
This fascinating culinary documentary follows the everyday life of the Faroe Islands and its culinary pearl, two-star Michelin restaurant KOKS. Filmed over an 18-month period, it dives into the poetic mind of young Faroese chef Poul Andrias Ziska, exploring the traditions, history and distinctive ancient practices that lie beneath the world's most remote fine dining experience.
