- No. - It's all good.

No, something is missing.

We need something...

...more expressive.

- What? - We need mint.

Are you kidding? Who puts mint in curd?

What are you doing?

- Okay. But tarragon is essential here. - No! No, don't put it!

Mix it now.

Good.

Very good.

- It's really... - So good.

That tarragon is so good here.

- But mint is good too. - Yeah.

- Admit it's good. - It's good, I admit it.

CANTEEN "GARDUTĖ"

Chicken Kyiv. Cutlet "Jūratė."

And potato kugel. Not anymore.

- Then I want... - Today, I recommend you try

cepelinai with goat's milk curd, it's very tasty.

- Let's try it. - Ona? Bring cepelinai.

- What happened to your arm? - I fell off a ladder.

Forgot your hangover cure, maybe?

Maybe I had too much.

- Enjoy. - Thanks.

They say to me "How delicious are your cepelinai today."

"With goat's milk curd."

And I'm like a fool.

"What are you talking about, we use ordinary curd."

Then he gets offended. "So you are lying to us?"

"Because we were told it's goat's milk curd."

I start to apologize. "No, we're not lying,

if you need a goat, a goat it is."

I am thinking, maybe the girls misunderstood something?

- Then I look... - It was with a discount.

- Taste it, it adds delicacy to cepelinai. - Look how delicious it is.

It's delicious.

Girls, do you know what people come here for?

To enjoy delicious food.

To stuff their face.

Those who want to enjoy food don't go to canteens.

That curd was only a few pennies more expensive.

Just think of it: tastier cepelinai, more clients. It's good.

And if they get used to it?

- We'll have to cook each time. - And it's very good.

It is better to raise the price than to reduce the quality.

Onutė, ask your friend

if she ever had a business where you need to keep employees?

That's why you go bankrupt because you don't try anything new.

She doesn't really think so.

Boss, we both have great respect for you and your expertise.

I've been working here for 40 years. That's something.

You won the award for the best kugel in the Soviet Union.

Do you girls know the difference between me and curd dumpling?

I don't dissolve.

This time I'm deducting curd from your salary. To both of you.

Next time, I'll cancel your salary, too.

Liepa, are you getting dressed or not?

- How's the baby's tummy? - Today we couldn't poop.

We didn't eat anything, we squirmed all day.

Then I patted his tummy, it made us poop.

We burped, we ate and now it's better.

By the way, there are holes in her shoes. Her feet are soaking wet.

That's why I wanted to ask... Can you lend me 50 Euro?

You can't buy good shoes for that much.

You need good deflection, elastic shoelaces, Gore-Tex.

It's better to buy more expensive shoes,

otherwise you'll just have to borrow again in a month.

- Transfer to the same account? - Yes, if it's convenient for you.

- You can play tomorrow, kids. - Yes, yes, let's go.

- Bye, bye. - And don't bring those donuts anymore.

I guess gluten is why we can't poop.

- Bye, Liepa. - Bye.

Okay, this one.

Just not too bright.

Good?

Saulė's here, let her in.

Hi!

- What did you bring? - Enough cartoons for today.

To bed no later than nine o'clock.

- I hope you didn't bring any sweets? - No.

- Really? - Yes.

Here is pilaf.

It's shiny.

You need to turn very slowly.

- Ah, slowly... - Do as I do.

One is ready.

Ok, where's the snout, in the restaurant?

Yes.

What's he eating?

Herring!

Kugel?

Pancakes?

A lamp?

He asked me only one thing - what car do I have.

He said,

"Oh, so you're a very careful person, because no one steals Opels."

We ate dinner.

And then you told him about Liepa.

That's not the point. Anyway,

he says, "I'm going to the bathroom." Okay, I'm waiting and waiting,

and he doesn't come back.

I waited for half an hour.

He never returned, so I paid for dinner for both of us and came back.

Maybe something happened to him in that bathroom?

Yeah, that's right.

Ona...

Are you serious?

What's wrong with me?

Look how desperate I am.

With a child, ugly, no career.

Oh, come on. Come on, "ugly, no career."

Even the suckers hide from me in bathrooms.

Ona...

Heat, tension, emotions and a lot of delicious food.

Soon the best chefs of the country will compete for the keys

to the newest and most luxurious restaurant for Lithuanian cuisine.

All this, and much more, on the new cooking show "Let's Cook Lithuanian."

You should join us, too.

- They're giving a restaurant as a gift? - Yes.

- In Lithuania? - Yeah.

And you can register, right?

- What? - So maybe we can participate?

Hi.

- Am I disturbing you? - Well, no.

Sorry, I forgot. I'll arrange it tomorrow, okay?

That'd be nice.

By the way, mom left a package for you.

She said she hasn't seen you in a while, she misses you.

Yeah, I didn't have time.

Don't snooze on the sofa,

but register, contest and win

the key to your dream restaurant.

- Ona? - Yes?

We have to leave, now... Where?

Where?

Ona's mom was in a car accident.

- She's in the hospital now. - Ona...

- Can you do it on your own? - No, no, no... she can't.

It's a very complicated situation there, she needs all the support she can get.

Ona, let's go. We really need to go.

- And who's gonna make lunch? - Barbora can handle it. Let's go.

What?

All right, we have a few questions for you.

Why don't you give them those bowls right away.

You are Ona?

You will stir, and you, Saulė...

- You'll whisk. - But it's empty.

Imagine it's not empty.

Here's the deal.

We'll do that, we'll whisk.

Then you stop and mentally count one, two, three.

Then you look up at the camera and smile.

All right? Let's start.

Don't look at the camera.

Don't do it so loud.

Maybe it's better to put those tools away

- and knead something. - Yeah, do the kneading.

- Pretend you're kneading cake tinginys. - Or cookie dough.

And... knead. Let's start.

Knead harder, feel that dough.

Now look at the camera calmly

and smile.

- Good. - Good. Thanks.

- Do we have this? - Yeah, it'll do.

Now tell us about your team, who are you?

We are chefs from "La Gardutė."

We will present you the best recipes from our most prestigious restaurant.

- Do you have a website? - Yes, we have a website.

We have 500 likes, we have only five-star ratings.

And what kind of kitchen is this?

The kitchen has a variety of mixers, dishwasher and a new oven.

- What kind of food do you prepare? - The food that people like, but

it's very important that we definitely include...

- a European menu. - In your profile you write

that you have experience working in foreign restaurants.

- Yes, we do. - What kind of experience?

We studied in France.

And where exactly?

At Jacques's. Chef Jacques. But then we returned to Lithuania.

- And your friend, can she speak? - Yes.

Then tell us something about yourself.

My name is Ona.

I'm raising a daughter. Liepa.

- Alone? - Alone.

Can you introduce yourself again?

This time mention that you're a single mom.

I'll zoom in.

My name is Ona.

I am a single mom.

I have a daughter named Liepa.

Nice.

Thank you, bye.

Maybe we can go shopping? Buy a dress for Liepa?

Show me.

- Where did that come from? - Raminta created it.

- Why so many likes? - They're fake people.

- What did you give her for that? - Nothing.

I said I would move out if they accept me into the contest.

Again?

And when is that?

Okay, and how long do these things take?

Just so we know.

- I see. - I'm sorry, did you say cutlet "Juratė"?

Thanks.

Well?

Saulė?

- So what is it? - What is what?

It's a complicated situation.

So mom's not feeling well again?

We may need to go to the hospital again after a few days.

- Only this time we would take longer. - No way.

Do you want to leave mom alone?

Ona. If there are no clients, it doesn't mean that there is no work.

Do you think mom would like fake daughters visiting her?

Anyway, no one is forcing you. I know how you feel.

Prospects, a career, and a good future await you here.

Excuse me?

There's a fly in here.

It's not a fly. It's a kind of spice.

We use rare spices. Indian.

It's a curry.

- Saulė and Ona? - That's us.

"La Gardute" has arrived.

Go through one at a time.

Go through properly.

You girls are late, so hurry up and follow me.

- Hurry up! Hurry! - Okay, we're going.

Half an hour. Yeah, I said that.

- I think I saw Bruknė. - What would she do here?

I don't know, but I really saw her.

Please sign. In short, you cannot opt out without a valid reason,

you cannot share information with third parties.

A fine of 10,000 Euro is imposed for non-compliance.

That's great!

Excuse me, where's the bathroom?

- There. - There?

Where should the monitor be? Facing this way.

Excuse me?

- It's burning! - Oh, God!

I need to cool the burn!

And action!

Hello, ladies and gentlemen! Hello, Kristina.

- You look amazing tonight. - Thanks, Valdas. You, too.

But we are probably here not only to admire each other,

but also to eat delicious food.

- Because you're watching... - When you're ready... second!

...cooking show in Lithuania "Let's Cook Lithuanian"!

You'll see that even the French and Italians have something to learn

- from Lithuanian cuisine. - 'Greenas' team!

What's that, what did you bring here?

Go, go, go.

They will receive keys to the fully equipped Lithuanian cuisine restaurant.

Let's start a symphony of gurgling bellies.

Look! let's go

- Hi, I'm Saulė. - Hi.

Cool.

I don't believe what the haters say about you, I think everyone is jealous.

Right?

I've watched all your shows and been to the restaurant.

- Until they closed it. - No one closed it, I did it myself.

- Can we take a selfie? - Okay.

Now "Gardutė." "Gardutė!"

Come here, hurry up!

- I have a phone. - Why do you need a phone?

When you exit the cepelinai, go straight ahead. At the blue mark, you stop.

Make your move, we film your introduction, then you go out, okay? All right.

Let's go. Faster, what's wrong with you?

All right. We can spin them.

Let's start.

The next team - two charming girls, good friends, excellent cooks.

Chefs of the most famous restaurant in Kaunas "La Gardutė."

Although the girls trained in France,

Saulė says that Lithuanian cuisine is no stranger to them.

Chef Ona's path to success has not been easy.

She is a single mother, struggling but persistently pursuing her dream.

If she wins, she'll take her daughter to a water park.

Attention, camera 1. Let's go down.

Let's focus, Bruknė is coming up.

- The last team needs no... - Get ready, there'll be hands.

- This is Mrs. Bruknė. - Camera 2, zoom in.

Focus on bread and dill.

The owner of a legendary chain of restaurants,

- who completely changed her image. - Thank you, cut!

Kristina, you're going to introduce the jury, okay?

- It was my text, after all. - Don't overplay it.

Let the contestants in.

Makeup!

We introduce the jury.

Can't you see I'm shiny?

Do I have to do everything myself?

And I'm okay?

Now let the contestants in. And introduce the jury.

A gourmet... and the most famous food and wine taster in Lithuania,

From France... Mr. Emmanuel.

Mr. Emmanuel, what would you expect from this part of the contest?

Amuse-bouche. An appetizer is like a first kiss.

We know that this is not the end, but

a good beginning is essential to a happy ending.

We eat it after we've awakened our appetite with an aperitif. Bon courage!

Excuse me? What is an aperitif?

What?

Ah, aperitif. I thought I heard...

- Cooperatif. - Aperitif, okay.

Let's continue, camera 1.

Now, it's time for a snack.

There is a Lithuanian ingredient hiding under the lid on your tables,

which should be shining on your plates in half an hour.

Are you ready?

Those thirty minutes start now!

LET'S COOK LITHUANIAN COOKING SHOW

Let's prepare the herring with apples and... quince sauce.

Who will leave the competition this time?

Will it be "Gardutė" and their aperitif "pasta with herring?"

Maybe it will be the "Konstanta" family?

It's impossible to eat.

And their "Herring at Gediminas Castle."

Can you do anything at all?

Reminiscent of a country wedding.

Could it be Mrs. Bruknė's "Virgin herring?"

With meadow flowers?

Please don't touch it with your hands.

Very unexpected.

Or perhaps we will say goodbye

to the wizards and magicians of the competition,

representatives of molecular gastronomy team "Magija"

and their "Herring in Space."

And it tastes like strawberries.

And what's waiting for lactose-free, gluten-free, sugar-free

food representatives "Greenas"

and their mushroom mash?

But where is the herring?

Or maybe this time we'll say goodbye to the stylish hipsters "Cold Brew"

who presented us with the conceptual dish "Herring and Sea".

The jury has already calculated their scores.

Now I'd like to ask two teams to step forward.

First team...

"Greenas."

And the second team whose fate is on the line is...

"La Gardutė."

Will the jury forgive "Greenas" for not using the herring?

Or maybe they'll forgive "La Gardutė" for not knowing what an aperitif is?

Staying in the contest is...

Who will continue to cook with us?

"La Gardutė"!

We wish the "Greenas" team a good appetite.

- Why did you turn it off? - We won't participate anymore.

Let's go brush our teeth.

You know we can't not participate.

You embarrassed us in front of all Lithuania.

But we made it through.

- We just screwed up with an aperitif. - We?

And what was it with the herring?

You know, thank you.

You're the one to thank.

Aperitif, aperitif, aperitif. What is an aperitif?

- Hi! - Hi.

I didn't know you started working in a restaurant. Why don't you invite me?

I forgot to say, I'll definitely invite you.

- So you work in a restaurant? - We'll talk later, baby.

- So you work in a restaurant? - No, that's just what I call my canteen.

- Why? - Sometimes you can call it that.

Sit down. Will you buckle up? Take it.

Weren't you on TV last night?

Uh, definitely not.

That's right, you're the "La Gardutė" team.

Of course. We're a great team.

- Cutlet? - Right.

Enjoy.

All right. Next time in the contest we'll do as you say.

Okay.

- What do you mean, okay? - Well... okay.

You should disagree.

Okay, then we won't.

We'll do it because you said so.

- I didn't. You said so. - What did I say?

They said that everything was...

- She needs the support of all relatives. - No!

You think I'm a curd dumpling? No moms.

- She is terribly sick. - No "buts," no "she's sick."

Go after work.

- Oh no! - What?

She died?

She died?

Ona...

- Your team got bigger today. - I had no one to leave her with.

Of course, the more the merrier. What is mademoiselle's name?

- Liepa. - Oh, Liepa. Nice to meet you.

Emmanuel.

- Can I? - Yeah.

S'il vous plait.

- Does he give candy to all the kids here? - Don't start.

- Oh, what a puppy! - His name is Balandėlis.

- What happened to his leg? - He's a cripple.

I just got him from the shelter yesterday.

Do you want to play with him? I'm done here.

Your friend is very eccentric.

- A little. - A little?

Don't let her talk. You'll lose because of her.

- I don't have that big a goal. - You don't want to win?

Everybody wants it.

After thirty years of work,

I recognize a good chef by the way he holds a knife.

You, for example. You'll go far. Make them see you.

Let her hair down. Let your hair down!

Let your hair down!

We're looking for you everywhere. Come on, come on.

- I'll just finish my cigarette. - No! You can smoke later. 5 min left.

Let's go, let's go

I'll put it out, it's okay.

- What? - Let me say this.

- So do it, why are you waiting? - I'm not, but you start talking.

So step in, do something.

What can I do if you take my dialogue as always?

Arvydas!

If you want to speak alone, then speak.

Hi.

What's that cucumber doing in there? Take it out of camera 5.

- Did I mention you look great today? - Thank you, Valdas.

Because today's a special day.

What dish do you think should be the emblem of Lithuanian cuisine?

This is the pride of our nation, cepelinai!

Stop. Add more steam.

- Let's do it faster. - Okay.

- Now? - Spin it.

I can't now, I'm spinning the cepelinai.

We will announce the team with the most points first.

The team whose recipe was very original and unexpected.

Today's winners are...

the team "La Gardutė."

Who let that girl in? That's not okay.

We'll tell her to sit down, it's not a problem.

Let's use the girl.

Let's get the girl cleaned up, she only has to hug her mother.

What about Saulė?

What's Saulė got to do with this? The audience has to cry here.

Stop right here.

Let's repeat it again. Go!

I had good grades in school.

Then I went to university to study history.

What about cooking?

I met a guy there.

And after a year of dating, I unexpectedly got pregnant.

When I told him I was pregnant, he immediately disappeared.

Suddenly, it felt like nothing had ever happened in my life at all.

Even my mother turned away from me.

I was completely alone.

- What about cooking? - And...

When you find yourself in such a situation,

you realize that you can only rely on yourself.

And that's when cooking came back into my life.

It was her daughter and cooking

that helped to get out of postpartum depression.

Why did I say so much nonsense? I can't even listen to my own voice.

Look, the comments are not bad at all.

Can I see?

Enough chatting, clients are at the door.

That's the third call today. Everyone wants to our "restaurant".

What did you say?

That we're doing renovation. I won't answer anymore.

By the way, "People" magazine called. They want an interview.

- Really? - From you.

Meaning? What about you?

They said your story is very interesting.

- But how can I be without you? - Oh, come on.

It's so cool that they want to write about you.

We'll have a better chance of winning. Just think of it, it's awesome.

- I can't do it the way you do. - Yes, you can.

And who will look after Liepa?

Really, who will look after Liepa?

- I'll look after Liepa. - Really?

Yes. Go!

- Maybe you're right. - Of course I am.

Good, very good, beautiful.

Relax, everything is okay.

Now turn to the side. Very good.

Face me. Thanks, very good.

Now open your lips.

Not that much.

Thanks, good. Now hold the cepelinai with only your right hand.

Yeah, beautiful. And now your left hand. You look like a real chef, nice.

Very good. Put the wind closer.

One more time. Great. Lower the cepelinai a little.

Very nice. And smile. Smile straight into the camera.

You're like a true model. Why are you a chef?

Now we'll add the bunny, he's blocked his nose because it stinks here.

Okay, he'll stink next to a dinosaur.

- What's next? - Maybe we put this tiger in?

Okay, tiger. That'll do.

And when my mom wins the contest, will you come to the water park with us?

Well, when we both win.

My mom is prettier than you, that's why she's on TV more often.

Do you think I like to hear that?

Is everything okay?

- I'm trying to call a cab. - Get in, I'll give you a ride.

Très bien.

How's it going?

What'd you say?

What are you doing out so late?

I did a photoshoot with the cepelinai.

Such nonsense. I had to do all positions.

Photoshoot? You mean... Ah!

You know, I'm starting to like this contest.

At first, I thought there was no chance.

Now, maybe we could win...

It's a useful experience.

- What do you think? - About what?

About the contest.

- To tell the truth or to lie? - If it's a question, then lie.

My job is to be French.

I'm not even allowed to speak Lithuanian without an accent.

All that sophisticated food, the reactions,

the slow eating when you can't even swallow...

I understand.

So good.

Epic!

- Oh, God. Have you ever eaten a kebab? - I don't remember.

Hold it like this.

They say, "if you're eating a real kebab, it's hard not to get dirty."

- And? - And then he asked me

why I didn't learn French when I was in France.

My excuse was that I had to hurry back to my daughter.

I'm really afraid. What if he starts asking more about France?

- What do I tell him? - And then?

I thought he'd be the first.

Wait. You said you didn't like him.

But now I like him.

So, what? You've never kissed a man first?

Of course not. Have you?

I don't know. If I liked him, I'd kiss him. Why be so shy?

What if he rejected you?

So did he kiss you or not?

When we said goodbye, we did it in the French style.

French?

You know, cheek-to-cheek.

Okay. The shy one.

The last time I thought a normal guy was paying attention to me,

you know what happened.

Maybe something is wrong with him?

- Thank you. - Why's that?

For making me enter the contest.

You're not a child. If you hadn't wanted to do it, I couldn't have made you.

You know your feet are cold?

- They're cold! - Okay, stop.

WHEN EVERYONE TURNED THEIR BACKS AND I WAS LEFT ALONE WITH A BABY,

IT WAS TIME TO THINK ABOUT WHAT I REALLY WANTED IN LIFE.

Well? Did you find an apartment?

No.

No? We agreed that you'd move out within a month.

Get off my back about an apartment! You just met him, what's wrong with you?

Who did I just meet? Kasparas? We've been dating for a year.

I don't get it. They find a guy and everything changes.

I become unnecessary, I don't exist.

When this guy dumps you, don't ask me to come back.

SHE WORKS HERE!

- Did you see this? - I did.

- And? - What?

Why didn't you remove it?

You did.

I saw that the girls removed the ad.

I wanted to cheer with everyone. I have celebrities working for me!

Hi! I wanted to ask you if you could look after Liepa tomorrow.

Yeah.

Okay.

Thank you.

Okay. Bye.

- Ona. I can stay with Liepa. - No need, I asked my neighbor.

I want to tell you something important.

- Would you like to taste it? - No, thank you.

- And you? - No.

I apologize, it's a "must-try" here.

It's a must? Très bien , pour it.

Clearly, the grapes are not first harvest.

- Yes, it's the second pressing. - This second pressing

is harvested a little too late.

Two hours late. Taste it.

Yeah, there's a weird taste.

Wait... It reminds of salami.

- What? Fish? - Sausage.

Mon Dieu , sausage?

- Why did you have to lie? - Who would take us from the canteen?

You're a great cook, you could work in any restaurant.

No one could look after Liepa in the evenings.

And the nanny?

Come on. I can barely pay my taxes. What nanny?

What money do you live on?

As you can see, I can still afford food.

You want to borrow some money? Just tell me, no problem.

- I can. - No need, thanks.

If you want, I can... be a nanny.

- Do we need oil? - A little.

Maybe we can take a selfie?

Maybe we can.

- Let me. - I'm cutting it.

Go chop some parsley.

Let's do it one more time.

You're chopping too fine.

- Just not right now. - Why?

Later, because it will freeze.

Why don't you eat?

- What? - Why don't you eat, it's lunchtime.

If there was normal catering, I'd eat.

Do you still want to eat? Are you sure?

Saulė!

Oh dear. You are just like me when I was young.

When I started out, I couldn't tell the difference between parsley and tarragon.

For the chef's signature salmon, I added tarragon instead of parsley.

Can you imagine? When the chef saw it, he started shouting "Loreta!"

"Are you crazy? Get out! And don't come back tomorrow."

The door opens, the waiter comes over and says "compliments, very tasty salmon."

After that, we only cooked salmon with tarragon.

Good job, your dish is great, everything's fine. Keep doing it.

Thanks. But Ona made this dish, not me.

It's weird. You have so much more charisma. Three times more.

I recognize a good cook by the way he holds a knife.

You'll go very far.

If you need help, let me know.

Thank you.

Raminta?

Raminta, are you home?

Hi. Raminta kicked me out.

Can you believe it? Changed the lock as if I were her alcoholic husband.

She threw all my things into the corridor.

I stood looking at them in confusion. Then I came straight to you.

I have guests.

That's good, I've got a new cake recipe.

Maybe you could go to Barbora?

- Are you serious? - I have one couch, you know that.

Are you kicking me out?

No, but... Maybe you can spend the night somewhere else?

And she wanted to be friends so badly...

Since childhood. She and I used to work in a canteen, but then...

When we opened the restaurants, that's when things started to go wrong.

All the ideas were mine, all done by me.

And she just followed along and wanted to share the profit.

One day I said "stop, that's it, that's enough."

I write the books. I had such a hard time getting that TV project.

I say, "maybe I could get at least one percent more?"

"No," she said. No, she's doing her part, too.

"Are you doing your part," I said? Okay, keep working, keep doing it.

- But without me. And what happened next? - What happened next?

She kept doing it.

- And? - And nothing, just a pile of shit.

- Are you two still friends? - She's not.

Because she's very offended. Because her principles are very big.

She was useless, like a third leg to me.

And when you get rid of it...

It's easier to walk.

Yeah...

- Good morning. - Look, I uploaded a new one.

Here are packages of good, quality food I made myself.

With them, I send a message of democracy to this tyrannical regime.

Long live freedom!

Do I feel like I've done something good?

Yes. I do.

So many comments!

I thought celebrities don't read comments.

- Shall we make breakfast? - Go ahead.

Okay.

- There. - Ah, okay.

Where's your puppy?

He was shedding a lot. I sent him back.

- How's Liepa? - She looks suspicious to me.

I'm taking her temperature now.

- I can stay. - No, it's okay, go.

So... thank you, it was very delicious.

I wouldn't ask you, but I have a shoot tonight and Liepa is sick.

Could you look after her?

What do you think I am? A full-time nanny? A bank?

- Just one last time, okay? - You think my kids aren't enough for me?

You know how much work it is with 3 kids? I cook all day, three times,

then throw it all away because they only eat pasta.

- I thought you liked it. - You thought. Why did you never ask?

Maybe I want to wear a dress sometimes, too.

It's okay, we'll manage.

Liepa? Come.

Hi.

- Why are you so sad? - I'm sick.

- You have a fever. - A little. Sit here for now, okay?

Not here, take her somewhere else.

- Why did you bring her if she's sick? - It's none of your business.

Come here. Just sit down while we finish, okay?

Here? Thanks.

Hello, Kristina, you look amazing.

I hope we're already hungry and ready for the final shows.

Our taste buds are definitely ready for the main course.

I can't wait to taste it all. Shall we start the clock?

Let's start!

Will you ever learn to pronounce in a right way,

words like 'start' and 'clock'?

Let's make some magic with green peas,

part of it to be frozen and part of it to be crunchy...

Today we're going to make potato sausage.

- Why potato sausage? - Do as I say.

Hurry up or the blood will clot.

Stop telling me what to do. Do it yourself.

Then you do the guts.

Overheated a little, right? You don't look like yourself.

Don't talk nonsense.

Did Emmanuel teach you to act like that?

I dragged you to this contest by the hand, I looked after your child.

And now you're a big star, you're impossible to talk to.

- Maybe you're just jealous? - Of what?

That you take pictures with cepelinai?

That the contest is more important to you than your child?

No. That you pose, you act, but everyone laughs at you.

What do you have? You played with Liepa, now you're gonna be a mom?

Let's take a look at what's going on at camp "La Gardutė."

Well, girls?

What stage of cooking are you in?

- What's up, is everything okay? - Yeah, it's okay. Thanks.

Maximum concentration.

Maybe chef Ona could present the dish to the jury?

Today we have prepared something special for you.

- And... - And I, as "expert at everything"

I will allow myself to emphasize that... This is a Lithuanian sensation.

A super mom, a woman of dreams, a wonderful cook...

She has outdone herself, for the dish is not for everyone, it is...

the pride of Lithuania.

I don't know if I forgot to mention, while posing,

that our beloved Ona never studied anywhere in Paris.

We don't work in the "La Gardutė" restaurant, because it doesn't exist.

I made it up to drag this beauty to the contest.

We work in the simple canteen "Gardutė." We met there.

Our clients are not noble, they are simple.

They are construction workers, factory workers, drivers, but they eat, too.

And they know the difference between a good cepelinai and a bad one, right, Ona?

Catch her! And you continue with the jury.

Ona!

Let's continue!

Zoom in that potato sausage.

Let's get on with the show.

- Yes? - Hi.

- Hello. - Is your mom at home?

- She's at the restaurant. - Which one?

A new one, near Vilnius.

Yeah. I haven't heard of it.

Can you tell me the address? I'd like to visit.

Maybe you are that aperitif?

- Yes, I am. - Can we do one story?

Of course.

- Say "what's an aperitif?" - What's an aperitif?

YOU ARE CORDIALLY INVITED TO THE GRAND OPENING

OF THE RESTAURANT "MRS. BRUKNĖ COOKS LITHUANIAN"

- Maybe some string to tie it up? - I know. I will think about it.

Perhaps that's enough for today. Thank you very much.

Hi, Saule. Come, let's talk.

Please sit.

- Coffee, tea? - No, thanks.

Do you seriously think that these days

restaurants like this are given away for nothing?

We scored as many points as you did.

No, you didn't.

Producers do what's best for them

because the audience likes idiots like you more.

But it has nothing to do with your abilities.

- You lie to people. It's wrong. - Oh, come on.

You lie, too. You're already lost in your lies.

This is also very wrong. But I can do it better than you.

Because it's written on your forehead that you work in a canteen.

You've settled in well.

YOU ARE CORDIALLY INVITED TO THE GRAND OPENING

OF THE RESTAURANT "MRS. BRUKNĖ COOKS LITHUANIAN"

- You knew? - What could I tell you?

I signed a confidentiality agreement. I couldn't tell you.

You've seen me getting up at night to cook.

- Please forgive me. - I told you I work in a canteen.

What an idiot. Why didn't you say anything all this time?

Ona, I'm not even French, I was just pretending,

didn't you understand?

Did our cepelinai really win?

I'm very sorry.

I'm sorry.

Dad?

Dad?

It's me, Saulė. Where's mom?

Your hands will freeze.

Oh, here she is.

I can only see you on TV. You never call.

- I had a lot of work. - Of course. Work.

I heard that firewood prices went up.

No big deal. I'll get a refund.

Let's go inside. I have soup.

Mom, there's something I want to tell you.

I lied the whole time. I don't work in any restaurant.

So where do you work?

In a canteen.

Is there a big difference? You have a job, right?

- Yeah. - So that's great.

And how is dad? Tired as always?

Dad is too tired. As always.

- Do you want me to read you a fairy tale? - No.

- I want to play "snout." - Okay, let's play.

- Where is the snout? - In the lake.

You should say not in the lake, but at the restaurant.

- Yeah? Okay. - That's what Saulė taught me.

At the restaurant, then.

- And when will Saulė come? - I don't know.

- I miss her. - I know.

- Ask something else. - What is the snout's favorite food?

- Meatballs. - No.

- Pancakes with ham. - No.

- Tomato salad. - No.

- Lasagna. - I don't know if I forgot to mention,

that our beloved Ona never studied anywhere in Paris.

The girls told a lot of lies.

And who doesn't lie these days?

Otherwise, you won't accomplish anything.

Where did all these million-dollar houses come from? All of them?

...but they eat too.

And they know the difference between a good cepelinai and a bad one,

right, Ona?

Oh, God.

The most important thing is that you confessed.

What about Ona? Did you two make up?

No.

What will you do next?

- Nothing. - What about the show?

- What about the show, mom? - You've moved on to the next stage.

Yes, we just saw it.

The jury really liked your potato sausages.

So what?

- What do you mean what? - No. It's all bought and paid for, mom.

There is no contest there.

No one cares about cooking there. This contest is not about food.

Do you think anyone would give a restaurant to a simple villager?

Don't be delusional, it doesn't work that way.

But people don't know that it's fake.

They're making a show. The common people like it.

They boost ratings, we beat basketball that time.

We couldn't throw them away, okay?

- What do I pay you for? - You pay money to win, and you will win.

Not to win.

- To get people to come to my restaurant. - They'll come, don't worry about it.

My wife is really rooting for you and is looking forward to your restaurant.

- You have a wife? - Yes.

Loreta, listen.

People like you very much. Everyone talks about how great Bruknė is.

You're always prepared, always coming up with something new.

Always hardworking, always creative.

- Really? - Yes.

All recipes are polished, all of them incredible.

Everyone dreams of eating your food, not...

Are you saying that to change the subject?

No.

Loreta, I'm serious.

You're a very hardworking woman. You put a lot of work and effort into it.

What are you staring at?

The project isn't finished yet and you already have your fan base.

- Do you know what it means? - I don't.

This is incredibly good.

And let us play TV. Because people need it.

They need it to be black and white, That there's a smart one and a stupid one.

Let them fry their dumplings or boil them, I don't care.

And you cook the steaks.

Not only here, but also in your future restaurant.

I wish you only one thing - to have time to cook them all.

All right?

Do you really have a wife?

I guess Ona won't come anymore.

I guess you saw the show.

You've made a mess, as always.

Look, my wife wants to come over for a meal.

She watched the show and started to care about her husband.

Maybe you could cook something? With that special curd?

- Goat's milk curd... - Now you like it, yeah?

Although back then you yelled at us a lot for it.

If you raise my salary, then maybe.

Okay.

- Then add another 20 rubles to my salary. - Okay.

Okay, maybe in a few years I'll give you a raise.

Oh, thank you. Isn't it time for you to retire?

It's long past time.

To be honest, I'm fed up with everything.

- Then why don't you retire? - I can't.

You don't know how much it costs to maintain a wife.

Rice is okay?

Just give me a moment.

Thanks.

Enjoy.

- We're closed! - I won't be long.

- Did you get a call about the contest? - Yeah.

But I definitely won't be back.

I'm looking for a job, I'll have to pay back this fine.

- How's Liepa? - She's okay.

I took her to my mom's for a few weeks.

What does mom have to say?

She pretends to be a victim.

That she has such a bad daughter. That I always disgrace her.

Yeah.

I came to apologize to you.

LET'S COOK LITHUANIAN COOKING SHOW

Today, will not just be a meeting, but a real duel of giants

for the keys to a new Lithuanian restaurant.

Competing in this final round, for the title of Best Chef in Lithuania,

and stepping out of the cepelinas... Mrs. Bruknė!

Her competitor, after a very dramatic confession during the last show...

Gardute.

Today, she's without Ona, who chose not to return to the contest.

Kristina, has anyone told you that you look like dessert today?

Thank you. And for good reason,

because what dinner and cooking show is complete without dessert?

So, the final task is dessert! Are the teams ready?

Three, two, one, let's get started!

That I would go this far? I really didn't expect it.

That's it, really. What more could I want?

I discovered some incredible Lithuanian dishes.

But more importantly, I made friends for life.

And this is where Mrs. Bruknė works.

Well?

Have you made friends with this machine yet?

I only use homemade butter.

And mix for at least ten minutes.

And not with this thing, but with a wooden spoon.

With love.

With joy.

That's how much love Mrs. Bruknė shows.

And what would you wish for your competitor?

Well, for such a young lady, I wish her great success.

And we sincerely wish you success.

Things have not been going well from the beginning.

Things seemed to have gotten out of hand.

Something seemed to be so lacking.

There is no time to bake all the layers of sponge.

So I use Bruknė's packaged sponges.

Guys...

We all have a duty to contribute to reducing world hunger.

Therefore, five percent of the profit goes to...

I wouldn't be me if I didn't fight to the end

for the keys to my dream restaurant.

And Ona?

Can we not talk about her today?

Hey. Do you see this?

- Did you let her in? - No, I thought you did.

Agnė, who let her in?

- She said that's what you agreed to. - Camera 6.

- What should we do? - You wanted tears, so here you go.

The cepelinai opens...

"May I join you?"

It's a surprise worthy of a contest finale.

Even I shed a tear.

When Ona came back...

I was speechless.

I couldn't leave you alone.

- Zoom in. - Amazing. Keep on directing.

Camera 1.

Would you like a donut?

- Would you like one? - I'm allergic.

I'll take one.

- Can I have two? - Of course. Take two.

Thanks.

It's very good.

Did I show up okay?

"I couldn't leave you alone..."

- You're a true actress. - You, too.

And how well you dropped that bowl.

I'm good at these things. You can't take that away from me.

LET'S COOK LITHUANIAN COOKING SHOW

This time, everyone admitted that it was a particularly difficult task.

But that's the way the contest is.
