What happens

Wasabi is a 2001 action comedy film directed by Gérard Krawczyk and written and produced by Luc Besson. An international co-production of France and Japan, the film stars Jean Reno, Michel Muller and Ryōko Hirosue. In France, it was released as Wasabi, la petite moutarde qui monte au nez ("Wasabi, the little mustard that gets right up your nose"). The film gets its title from a scene where the protagonist, Hubert Fiorentini (Reno), eats a whole serving of wasabi at a Japanese restaurant without flinching. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
