“The Bittersweet Adventures of Ari & Rumi”
Dramatic comedy | 13 episodes - 11 min | Young Adult
Ari, a young woman allergic to food and her emotions, pursues her dream of becoming a chef by working in a Food Truck run by Rumi, an astrology enthusiast. Together, they overcome their differences to compete in a culinary competition, building a valuable friendship and facing the expectations of their families.
Set in a fictional city in the Andes, inspired by the pre-Columbian cultures of Peru. Technologically and culturally, the status quo is very similar to the present (2024), except that the buildings are alive. It is important to highlight that the architecture, vehicles, signage, fashion, music, food, and colors reinforce the pre-Columbian visual characteristics found in Peruvian ceramics, textiles, temples, or royal jewelry.
