International Film Showcase
“Secret Ingredient” Macedonia
​Sunday July 14 at 2:00 pm

Secret Ingredient is a 2017 Macedonian drama film directed by Gjorce Stavreski. It was selected as the Macedonian entry for the Best Foreign Language Film at the 91st Academy Awards. The film depicts a series of dramatic and comical events triggered by a well-meaning therapeutic cannabis cake.

“In the movie, which mixes drama and comedy, an underpaid train mechanic gives his father a cake made of stolen marijuana to relieve his cancer pain. However, he is soon cornered by criminals searching for their drugs and the nosy neighbors who want a recipe for the mysterious “healing” cake. The Hollywood Reporter’s Stephen Dalton wrote in his review. “But Stavreski adds a few secret ingredients of his own, moving beyond the story’s local context into the more universal terrain of unresolved family tensions, the dangers of superstition and the healing power of love.”

With 26 International Film Festival Nominations and 9 wins, Secret Ingredient is a “terrific, touching, tightly plotted dark comedy…that is also…one of the funniest, smartest and most endearing.” Variety
