About the film
La cocina (Spanish for 'The Kitchen') is a 2024 comedy-drama film written and directed by Alonso Ruizpalacios. The film elaborates on the theme and style of Ruizpalacios' early short Café Paraíso (2008) and is based on the 1957 stage play The Kitchen by Arnold Wesker, which was already adapted to the 1961 film The Kitchen. However, while in the play and the British film the kitchen staff were continental European immigrants, in the present film they are mostly Latin Americans with some Arabs. The film stars Raúl Briones, Rooney Mara, Soundos Mosbah, Anna Díaz, Motell Foster, Oded Fehr, Eduardo Olmos and Spenser Granese. La cocina had its world premiere at the 74th Berlin International Film Festival on February 16, 2024, and was released in the United States by Willa on October 25, 2024.

Each of you opens La cocina on your own account. Herae keeps the two players in sync, so a pause or a skip happens for both of you, and puts a video call in the corner of the film so you can see each other react.
