Even as a child, Yazid (Marwan Amesker as a boy, Riadh Belaïch as a young adult) was fascinated by the world of patisserie. In a childhood full of upheavals, from foster families to group homes, baking remained his only constant. Yet his dream goes far beyond simple sweets – he aspires to reach the top of his craft and win the World Pastry Championship.
The road to success is rocky: in France’s finest kitchens, he must contend with strict head chefs, fierce competition, and his own challenging past. Yet with tireless ambition, talent, and a thick skin, he overcomes every obstacle. His passion for desserts drives him forward, and soon he impresses not only top chefs but also a worldwide audience.
“Stars for Dessert” tells the inspiring life story of renowned pastry chef Yazid Ichemrahen, who was crowned World Champion of Frozen Desserts in 2014. In the lead role, French comedian and influencer Riadh Belaïch shines, vividly bringing Yazid’s determination and creativity to the screen.
