​In a remote, low-income neighborhood on the outskirts of Lima is a school that the whims of fate decided should exist: The Pachacútec Cooking School. For more than 15 years the school has changed the lives of over 400 cooks, giving them a profession that has lifted them out of poverty while filling their lives with dreams, thus forging a new generation of Peruvian cooks.

This 40 minute documentary follows three young graduates, who now enjoy success in different parts of the world. In San Francisco, what started as an internship earned Jhosmery the position of pastry chef in a respected Peruvian restaurant. In Luxembourg, Gerson takes up the reins of a kitchen with modernist ambitions. And in Lima, Alan runs a successful ceviche business. All saw gastronomy as their chance to get ahead.
