LA COCINA
A film by Alonso Ruizpalacios
(Mexico/USA, 2024, 139 min. In English and Spanish with English subtitles)
The latest film by acclaimed Mexican director Alonso Ruizpalacios (Güeros, A Cop Movie) stars Oscar-nominated Rooney Mara and Ariel Award-winner Raúl Briones and is set in the heart of a bustling Times Square kitchen, where dreams and desperation collide as the back-of-house staff each chase the elusive American dream. When money goes missing from the till, the spotlight falls on Pedro, a passionate dreamer entangled in a tumultuous love affair with Julia, 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 New York restaurant.
