In a cracked, time‑worn ancestral house on the edge of a bustling town, the world feels both ordinary and tinged with quiet wonder. The creaking corridors and faded photographs whisper of a lineage once celebrated, while the present is dominated by the practical struggles of daily survival. Light filters through dusty panes, casting rainbows on the walls—subtle hints that magic, however fragile, may still linger in the corners of this neglected home.

At the heart of this setting is Ghoton, a 12‑year‑old orphan whose mind navigates the world with a vivid, sensory imagination shaped by autism. His extraordinary talent for cooking becomes his language, translating feelings that words cannot capture. In the kitchen, he creates flavors that echo his inner landscape, turning simple ingredients into expressions of hope and yearning. Despite the oppressive atmosphere, his curiosity remains unextinguished, and his gentle resilience paints him as a quiet beacon of innocence.

Living with him is Gondaria, the sole guardian whose obsession with material gain casts a shadow over the household. He clings to the promise of a hidden treasure left by Ghoton’s father, using it as a lever to keep the boy bound to endless servitude. His greed paints the home with a cold, controlling chill, yet the faint pulse of Ghoton’s creativity continues to push against the walls of his selfishness, suggesting that compassion may yet seep through.

Everything changes when a mysterious woman known as Poripishi arrives, offering a week of enchanted recipes that promise to reshape the boy’s destiny. Each dish is said to carry a distinct taste and a subtle influence, hinting at a realm where flavors hold the power to shift moods and open possibilities. This whimsical promise infuses the story with a tone of hopeful magical realism, inviting the audience to wonder how the simple act of cooking might become the key to unlocking a brighter future.
