[edit] Plot

Fanis Iakovides, professor of astronomy and astrophysics, recalls his childhood memories from growing up in Istanbul; his grandfather, a culinary philosopher and mentor, tought him that both food and life require a little salt to give them flavor; they both require A Touch of Spice. Fanis grew up to become an amateur but excellent cook and used his skills to spice up the lives of those around him.

35 years later he leaves Athens and travels back to his birthplace of Istanbul to reunite with his grandfather and his first love; he travels back only to realize that he forgot to put a little bit of spice in his own life.
