Mexican director Alonso Ruizpalacios premiered his most recent film, The Kitchen, as part of the competition at the Berlin International Film Festival. In his fourth feature film he looks at what happens to migrants after crossing the border with the United States.

The film is based on the work of Arnold Wesker, who poses a metaphor for this modern world that we have built for ourselves, where what matters more is productivity, the pace of work than the quality of what we are doing.
