An inexperienced twenty-six year old pastry chef faces the greatest challenge of his career: to enter the Olympus of the great pastry chefs by winning the World Chocolate Masters. Physical and psychological preparation, artistic and creative abilities and gastronomic finesse will be scrutinised by the world's best pastry chefs, who will not easily allow a young mortal to enter their realm. The emotion and the almost first-person experience are at the forefront of this sweet chronicle.
