Sugar and Stars
1h 50m Biography, Drama 2023

From foster care to France’s finest kitchens, Yazid fights to turn his love of pastry into a dream career among the world’s greatest chefs.

Raised in foster care, Yazid’s life has been anything but sweet — except for his one passion… pastry. Refusing to let circumstance define him, he chases his dream of training with France’s top chefs and becoming the best. Based on an inspiring true story, this uplifting film whisks together grit, talent, and heart in a tale as rich and layered as the desserts Yazid creates.

Rialto Recommends: Sugar and Stars. A deliciously heartfelt story of ambition and resilience. This film reminds us that greatness often rises from humble beginnings and that dreams, like pastries, require patience, passion, and a touch of magic.
