One hint, 6 chances, and a new movie to guess every day
Single mom Juana can slice and dice anything with great speed and precision. After working at a fruit-vending cart for years, she decides to take a job at a local Japanese restaurant. Intrigued by the food, she learns to make a multitude of sushi on her own. Eventually she attempts to become a sushi chef, but is unable to because she is the 'wrong' race and gender. Against all odds, she embarks on a journey of self-discovery, determined to not let anyone stop her from achieving her dream.
"A modestly produced and narratively ambitious movie, but very well achieved and moving. "Sushi a la mexicana" has timely issues at its heart, from racial discrimination to motherhood and the clash between cultures in the cauldron of Los Angeles. The director Anthony Lucero's debut feature is a movie that may not change your life, but will move you with its timely themes and performances."
