Once a year, competitors from all over the world flock to a picturesque Scottish village to cook the world’s best porridge and win the most prestigious prize for porridge makers: the “Golden Spurtle”. Amidst the fierce yet friendly rivalries and the stories of the charmingly eccentric competitors, a picture emerges of a close-knit, enthusiastic community. Constantine Costi’s documentary, interwoven with subtle humour, introduces us to the centuries-old art of porridge-making, set against the backdrop of the stunning Scottish Highlands. *The Golden Spatula* is a moving and inspiring film about passion, gastronomy, the power of community, and, of course, porridges prepared with immense care, boasting perfect consistency and texture.
