Synopsis
In the docu series ALISA (10) and her mother ISKRA (in her 40s) will cook recipes from classical books for children. They will go to the homeland of the respective recipe and cook it with a local chef in the book’s natural environment. Among the chosen fairy tales are: Alice in Wonderland, England; Karlson on the Roof, Sweden; Hansel and Gretel, Germany; The Wheat Bread, Bulgaria; Little Red Riding Hood, France; Pinocchio, Italy; Goldilocks and the Three Bears, Ukraine.
Today’s world, rapidly developing predominantly online and focused on consumerism, has alienated children from the great literature. Children are often perceiving literature online, through movies or abridged abstracts, which they read on the Internet. Most of the glamorous and expensive film productions infantilize the plot of fairy tales and make it sugary and accessible for children of all ages. This way, we – consciously or not – raise generations that will not know our past and will not share a common context with us. We will be in great debt to our kids, if we do not present to them the great stories about children through literature right now - with its rich and often complex language that excites our imagination. We believe that such series that arises children's (and parents') curiosity about different cultures, their cuisine and literature would have a huge educational effect and would gain many followers, bringing up young chefs… and readers.
