Synopsis
In his debut feature documentary, Aziz Zoromba follows acclaimed chef Fadi Kattan and Canadian co-venturer Nicole Mankinen as they race to open a Palestinian restaurant in Toronto. While their dream takes shape, escalating attacks devastate Gaza and the West Bank. Part immersive food film and part urgent record, Louf is a powerful meditation on diaspora, resistance, and the politics of preservation.
