‘Anti-food-porn' film about migrant workers enduring the harsh working conditions of a bustling New York City eatery.

La Cocina is a tragic and comic tribute to the invisible people who prepare our food. Inspired by the acclaimed stage play by Arnold Wesker and Alonso Ruizpalacios’ own working experience as a dishwasher at a London cafe.
