Description

In the heart of a bustling Times Square kitchen, dreams and desperation collide as the back-of-house staff each chase the elusive American dream. When money goes missing from the register, the spotlight falls on Pedro (Briones), a passionate dreamer entangled in a tumultuous love affair with Julia (Mara), a waitress grappling with her own commitments. As tensions rise and shocking revelations unfold, the relentless pace of the kitchen threatens to shatter the hopes and aspirations of those who keep it running. It's a high-stakes drama that explores the intersection of the personal ambition and systemic exploitation of undocumented immigrant workers within the pressure-cooker environment of a Times Square New York restaurant.

    Interesting new partner label

    I haven’t had a chance to dig into this yet but love kitchen centric movies. A great looking release though.

    Solid Immigrant Drama

    A quick and complex immigrant story that takes place in a high class NYC restaurant. Lots of characters to track but focused around one problematic relationship.
