La Cocina
15

Fri 28 Mar – Thu 03 Apr
In the heart of a bustling Times Square kitchen, dreams and desperation collide as the staff each chase the elusive American dream.
Drama • Explosive • Political

It’s the lunch rush at The Grill in Manhattan, and money has gone missing from the register. All the undocumented cooks are being investigated, and Pedro is the prime suspect. He’s a dreamer and a troublemaker, in love with Julia, an American waitress who cannot commit to a relationship. Rashid, The Grill ́s owner, has promised to help Pedro with his papers so he can “become legal”. But a shocking revelation about Julia compels Pedro to spiral into an act that will stop the production line of one of the city’s busiest kitchens once and for all.#

Mexican director Alonso Ruizpalacios (Güeros, A Cop Movie) serves us a tragic and comic tribute to the invisible people who keep our restaurants running whilst chasing a perhaps unreachable version of the American dream.
