When money disappears from the cash register one day, suspicion falls on Pedro (Raúl Briones), a young Mexican chef. Pedro is involved in a stormy relationship with Julia (Rooney Mara), an American waitress struggling with her own obligations. When he hears that Julia is considering an abortion, Pedro's world collapses. The shocking revelations and the constant stress of work bring him to a boiling point, completely disrupting the strict choreography in the kitchen. La Cocina is an exciting social-realistic drama and a tribute to the invisible heroes of the kitchen. Mexican director Alonso Ruizpalacios masterfully brings the hustle and bustle of a New York kitchen to life while simultaneously exposing the harsh reality that migrant workers have to deal with. Starring Rooney Mara and Raúl Briones. La Cocina is based on Arnold Wesker's 1957 play The Kitchen and had its world premiere last spring at the Berlin Film Festival, where it was warmly received by the international press.
