On the busiest night of the year at one of the hottest restaurants in London, charismatic and commanding head chef Andy Jones balances along a knife's edge as multiple personal and professional crises threaten to destroy everything he's worked for. A surprise visit from a health and safety inspector sets the staff on edge as the overbooked hot spot fills with guests. Jones tries his best to diffuse tensions between management and crew while catering to the ridiculous demands of customers.
“Intense and captivating, Boiling Point talks about burnout in a purest of ways. With no small-talk intended, the film captures the essence of the issue through the daily routine of a highly respected chef in London, making us feel firsthand the stress and the pressure this world brings with it. The turmoil and hyper-busy nature of the restaurant is conveyed through the style of one shot - the film communicates the overcharged energy of this universe brilliantly.” (Marija Fridinovaitė)
