About La Cocina

La Cocina is a tragicomic tribute to the invisible people who keep our restaurants running as they chase a version of the American Dream that seems perpetually out of reach. It’s lunch rush at a prominent tourist trap in Manhattan, and money has gone missing from the till. As the kitchen’s undocumented workers are singled out and investigated as primary suspects, a shocking revelation throws a wrench in the love affair between an ambitious cook (Raúl Briones) and an apprehensive waitress (Rooney Mara), threatening to halt the production line once and for all.
