Foodie Love
When two strangers connect through a dating app designed for food lovers, what begins as a casual coffee quickly turns into a journey of taste, tenderness, and emotional rediscovery. From the vibrant streets of Barcelona to the romantic corners of Rome and the quiet elegance of Japan, their shared passion for cuisine becomes a gateway to something deeper.
As they explore the world one dish at a time, they also confront the ghosts of past relationships, the vulnerability of new beginnings, and the bittersweet complexity of falling in love again. With food as both metaphor and medium, Foodie Love is a sensual, witty, and emotionally layered drama that celebrates the intimacy of shared meals and the courage it takes to open your heart.
