Caption reads: "Omaha, Nebraska, 1932." A pot of simmering broth… rice browns in a frying pan... the broth is added... the mixture starts to boil... “Explosive,” says Peter Travers from Rolling Stone. There Will Be Risotto reunites There Will Be Blood director Paul Thomas Anderson and actor Daniel Day Lewis. Set several years after There Will Be Blood, Daniel Plainview has long since retired from the oil business. He purchased a lot in Omaha with his remaining holdings, and opened a small diner: Plainview’s Risotto Café.
Daniel Plainview addresses a town meeting. Plainview, “I’ve traveled half this state tonight to talk to you about risotto. I’m a risotto man. I’ve made risotto in eighteen counties. I know the kind of rice to buy, how much broth to use and so forth. Other companies will try and sell you pre-made risotto packs, but I assure you, the quality is alarmingly substandard. I’m the only one who knows the authentic recipe for risotto.”
Plainview makes risotto. “Once you allow me to get to work, I can guarantee that within one week of this establishment's opening, the fluffy, white gold will be on everyone’s dinner table."
It’s dark. Close on Plainview, lit only by a candle. Plainview, “I have a competition in me. I want no one else to succeed at making risotto.” Fade to black. There Will Be Risotto Coming Soon.
