Single mom Juana, can slice and dice anything with great speed and precision. After working at a fruit-vending cart for years, she decides to take a job at a local Japanese restaurant, which provides security and benefits. Intrigued by the food, she learns to make a multitude of sushi on her own, fusing it with her own culture. When she attempts to become a sushi chef, she is shut down since she is the ‘wrong’ race and gender. Against all odds, Juana embarks on a journey of self-discovery, determined to not let anyone stop her from achieving her dream.

Notes et avis

This is a such a powerful and releatable story. I couldn't have asked for a better sushi movie set in modern America.

Very good movie, just wish it had more English instead of having to read alot of the movie

We need more motivated workers like Juana Martinez and open-minded employers like Yoshida-san.
