COOKING & DATING
Info:

Inspiration: “100 Libero Marconi`s crazy lunches”. The spirit of the series: urban, entertaining, extremely unusual, with indie musical and visual elements, animations in “Monty Python” and “South Park” style, with new elements in each episode, given by the series skeleton – so that viewers from episode to episode impatiently wait for it.
Plot summary:
In each of 101 episodes, Boris Milivojević prepares the whole lunch for a lady. All 101 women that will appear in the series, some of them are famous, and some aren`t, are interesting to the viewers and to Boris himself. In the setting we have avoided creating typical characters– neither is Boris Milivojević “eternal bridegroom” nor are his guests “eternal spinsters” – because it would, after all, make the series predictable and boring. If the host acts as himself, i.e. as actor, then the range of his characters and actions is inexhaustible. Boris Milivojević, our main character has a passion and a great wish: the passion is cooking, and each episode is actually a new attempt of our actor to find The Right one.
Culinary passion is best shown by the inspiration, using the atmosphere of literary ground “100 crazy lunches of Libero Marconi”. It is a poetic view of preparing real lunches, always eaten in a company by a famous Belgrade bohemian Slobodan Marković…As the meal each time closes the end, our main character finds a reason for looking for a new woman. The communication between Boris Milivojević and his guests, as well as the whole process of preparing lunch (from going shopping, chatting with sellers, etc.) is actually a description of a range of spontaneous situations with reality elements and inevitable and continual comments made by Boris Milivojević.
