Sushi with a Mexican flavour
A Mexican single mother who dreams of being a sushi chef is the theme of “East Side Sushi” being screened at River City Bangkok Film Club 's next week at 3pm.
Set in America, the multicultural film centres on Juana, a Mexican single mum, and her life working to support her father and young child. She has a flair for cooking, and when she takes up a job at a Sushi restaurant, she learns the art and craft of Japanese cuisine very fast.
She longs to become a sushi chef but the restaurant owner is very clear: the position can only be given to a Japanese male. So Juana takes matters into her own hand, signing up for a TV Sushi Competition in the hope that it will change her life.
The heartwarming film has won several festival awards including the Special Jury Award for Bridging Cultures.
The film screening is supported by the US Embassy in Bangkok. Sushi from Tuna Ichiban restaurant and drinks from Chang will be served after the screening.
Admission is free. The movie is being screened in Room 201 (Second Floor) of River City Bangkok.
