None of them could resist. Over the years, the monthly meetings of the Stew Club – a fraternity that has gathered seven long-time friends for decades – has gone from rituals of power to melancholic failure assemblies. The end would be its only worthy fate. Until a mysterious cook appears, and starts serving them magnificent feasts. The bonds of friendship are back, gluttony as a celebration of life. But there is a catch: after each dinner, a member of the brotherhood is found dead the next morning. What is the real reason for the deaths? And, above all, why do these men keep returning to dinner?

Based on a best-selling novel from the acclaimed Brazilian writer Luis Fernando Verissimo, "The Club of Angels" counts also with great cast of renowned actors. And it’s one of the best mixes of gourmet food and thriller story ever shown on the big screen.
