The hospitality industry relies on the hard work of a large group of illegal migrants, constantly living under the threat of deportation. The pressure on the staff at the New York restaurant The Grill is already high. The chaos intensifies when money goes missing from the cash register, and every staff member becomes a suspect.
Monumental black-and-white imagery, outstanding performances, and an intense pace create a captivating viewing experience.
