Film des Monats: La Cocina

In the organizer's words:

LA COCINA is a tragic and comic tribute to all the invisible people who keep our restaurants running and our stomachs full as they chase their version of the American dream. The movie delves deep into the hectic, chaotic and often merciless life behind the scenes of a large tourist restaurant. In a relentless rhythm, the film sends viewers through the inner workings of the kitchen, where personal dramas and social tensions clash among the cooks, waitresses and other employees. In this film, Ruizpalacios captures not only the pressure of the kitchen, but also the humanity that is revealed in moments of despair, solidarity and small triumphs.
