New to New York, Estela pitches up seeking work and finds it in The Grill, a busy Times Square restaurant, meeting ambitious chef Pedro and hostess Julia during the lunch rush. Dreams and desperation collide in the relentless pace which threatens to break those who keep it running. Informed by writer-director Alonso Ruizpalacios’ experiences working in London this adaptation of Arnold Wesker’s 1959 play pays tribute to the immigrant workers who keep the city running. A claustrophobic, captivating portrait of a frenetic life shot in stark black and white.
