All Stirred Up! is a gem of a movie about the unexpected twists that shape our experiences. It’s positive, funny and refreshing.
- EAGLE VALLEY NEWS
Somewhere on the border between Quebec and the United States, the intractable customs officer, Sonia (Julie Le Breton), rules her boom gate with an iron first. No one gets past her eagle eye, not even Victor (Édouard Baer, How to Be a Good Wife, AF FFF20), a charming but down-on-his-luck French chef from New York, who finds his knives and gourmet food unfairly confiscated. Meanwhile, Sonia's daughter Lili-Beth is sick of being bullied at school. When she enters a Mini Chefs competition to stick it to her bullies, it seems she's the underdog with no hope of winning. Unless Julie can convince Victor to help her.
However, it’s not just the pressure of the Mini Chefs competition that threatens to boil over: community tensions and divisions are bubbling under the surface of this rural border town, with bitterness an all-too-familiar flavour. But Sonia, Victor and Lili-Beth are about to serve up something new.
This feast of a comedy from director Manon Briand is full of laughs and touching connections. Set in the beautiful Canadian countryside and replete with mouthwatering dishes, ALL STIRRED UP! is a deliciously heartwarming story that will leave you hungry for more.

Special Event - Taste of France - Thursday 20 March
In a remote village somewhere on the border between Quebec and the United States, the unyielding customs officer Sonia confiscates the contents of the car belonging to Victor, a French chef living in New York and in need of recognition. She soon regrets it when her daughter, Lili-Beth, decides to take part in a Petits Chefs competition, in which she seems to have little chance of winning. The intractable Sonia then decides to try everything in her power to enlist the help of the charming but exasperating Victor. This more-than-improbable encounter will bring the whole village together to get past their differences and get a taste of what's essential.
