Nishimura has a difficult task ahead of him: to cook for seven eccentric scientists living in isolation in Japan's Dome Fuji Station in South Pole. You can almost smell the lovely scent of just-made onigiri when he works his magic and caters for both the body and the soul in this literally cool masterpiece from Shuichi Okita, a rising star of Japanese cinema.
