🎬 MovieFinder's Take
This documentary thriller transforms the mundane world of fast food into a tense study of immigrant survival economics. The camera acts as a conspirator, its lens catching the tremble of hands chopping potatoes and loaded glances exchanged between shifts.
What lingers after viewing is how globalization and gastronomy intertwine with shadow economies. A simple restaurant's smell of fried chicken may evoke not hunger but uneasy curiosity — MovieFinder Editorial
Director: Yves Hinant

Greasy kitchen air, hushed negotiations behind freezers, the rhythmic tap of a knife on a cutting board.
