Everything happens very fast in Lima in the summer of 1992. Lucia, Aurora, and their mother Elena are about to leave. They are apprehensive about saying goodbye to a country, to family and friends, but above all to Carlos, a father and ex-husband who has all but disappeared from their lives. In the midst of Peru’s social and political chaos, their departure will give rise to contradictory feelings, reviving old regrets and generating new illusions. Reinas is an intense and moving tale of initiation, in the spirit of the ’90s.

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.
