Busboys

Marcus, a philosophy student, takes a job as a dishwasher at a high-end restaurant where every employee believes they're an undervalued genius. His first shift descends into an absurd battle of egos between a snobbish sommelier, a chef obsessed with molecular gastronomy, and a bartender-poet composing odes to craft beer. Between scrubbing pots, Marcus becomes the unwilling referee in debates about life's meaning, art, and the proper serving temperature of Bordeaux. This 2026 comedy examines modern labor through the lens of kitchen chaos, where everyone seeks their place not just on the shift schedule, but in the cosmos. The film balances sharp satire of foodie culture with a warm story about the peculiar community that forms behind restaurant doors.
