Based on Kathleen Flinn's The Sharper Your Knife, the Less You Cry, a self-autobiographical tale about her time at a Paris cooking school, follows Kathleen Flinn, a recently laid-off middle manager who decides to cash in her savings and start fresh with a new beginning abroad in cooking school. Trading boardrooms for burners and office politics for high-pressure kitchens, Kathleen embarks on a funny, heartfelt journey of self-discovery.
