I Will Not Starve tells the story of a fallen chef, formerly a Michelin star, who returns to Turin following the death of his ex-wife and after several years of absence. While trying to mend the broken bond with his teenage daughter, he meets a tramp who introduces him to a new way of life, living freely and taking advantage of grocery store food waste to feed himself. Together, they will transform unloved foods into true masterpieces.
I Will Not Starve is an ode to Italian cuisine and an outcry against food waste.
