Brunch for Beginners (2026), 93 minutes
There is no meal more important than brunch. Especially for the inventors of the healthy smartwatch ZHANI—Krum and Zhana.
Facing total bankruptcy, the two organize a lavish lunch to convince the only interested investor to fund them.
But everything is about to fall apart when their plans collide with the eccentric Rosena, her family, and their even more eccentric beliefs.
In a series of absurd situations and culinary disasters, genuine laughter alternates with bitter tears. And the big question remains: is the pursuit of a perfect image worth it, or does the recipe for true happiness lie somewhere else?
