A Touch of Spice (2003)

"A Touch of Spice" weaves the tale of Fanis, a young Greek boy blossoming amidst the cultural tapestry of Istanbul. Under the watchful guidance of his grandfather - a sage of the culinary arts - Fanis learns that life, like food, craves the flavor of a little salt; a hint of spice. Emboldened by this wisdom, he matures into a masterful cook, utilizing his culinary prowess to infuse vibrancy into the lives of those around him. After a sizable gap of 35 years, a nostalgic journey pulls him back to Athens, steering him towards the city of his birth - Istanbul, and the cherished memories of his grandfather and his first love. On his return, Fanis is greeted with a poignant realization - in his quest to season the lives of others, he has neglected to add that essential touch of spice to his own existence.

A Touch of Spice is a comedy movie featuring Georges Corraface and directed by Tassos Boulmetis.
