Is food the language we all speak and which could make us start accepting each other?

In the past 20 years, thousands of migrants have lost their lives en route to Europe. Some, however, are now in Croatia. How much do we understand them? How much do they understand us? Is food the language we all speak and which could make us start accepting each other? Until 2014 a bit less than 5000 foreigners from all parts of the world requested asylum in Croatia. Only 131 requests have been granted so far. The documentary Taste of Home speaks about these people and their experiences through the stories of three protagonists: Emina, who turned her charity into a cooking project; asylum seeker and chef Reda, awaiting the decision of his fate at Porin hotel; and 22-year-old Sandra, who fled Syria to find her place in the sun.
