After three long decades, Fanis, a grizzled astrophysics professor, returns to his roots and his abandoned home in Constantinople to visit his ailing spice merchant grandfather and mentor. As Fanis takes a trip down memory lane–reminiscing about first loves, the passion for food, and the hard times that shaped him as a person–the spice-scented tale of a close-knit family unfolds: the story of the forced expulsion of the persecuted Greek-Orthodox population of Constantinople in 1964-1965, and how Fanis learned to become a gastronome.

I saw this back at the 2005 Palm Springs International Film Festival and of the 14 films I saw then I ranked this as high as #5. I really enjoyed this film and so did the audience. Actor George Corraface was on hand to introduce the film. There is a beautiful artistic style to this film that immediately is as flavorful as it's title. Wonderful cinematography, staging and set design to this movie. A great story with interesting characters and some tasteful humor thrown in as well. This was Greece's biggest ever domestic box office feature and it's broad appeal transcended well to an American audience. You'll enjoy the entrée, main course and dessert of A Touch of Spice. I rate it an 8.0 of a scale of 10 and would highly recommend it.
