THE TASTE OF DESIRE is an epic documentary in which the oyster symbolizes our desires in life. Through captivating characters, this bold film examines the complexity of human desire: our relationship to the world around us and ultimately what lengths we will go to find satisfaction.

Director Statement

Desire is the most powerful source in human life. It’s the reason we make plans every day, that we look forward to a dinner, come up with ideas for new films, motivated towards what new experiences the future will bring. Desires, however, are also the biggest source of frustration. As soon as a desire is fulfilled, emptiness will follow, and there is always the need to fill the emptiness that is left behind with new desires.
