Plot
Juana is a mexican migrant and single mom that has a great ability when it comes to slice food. After a lot of years working in the fruit industry, she decides to change her life and give a chance to japanese cuisine, when she starts working at a sushi restaurant. There she will find a world that excites her more than anything, and her abilities will prove to be very useful: she has a real talent for sushi. When attempting to become a sushi chef, she won't be allowed, due to its race and gender. Juana will start then a self-discovery journey against all odds.
Juana is played magnificently by Diana Elizabeth Torres, and the chef Aki is played by Yutaka Takeuchi. Described as a mixture between 'Rocky', 'Karate Kid' and a cooking show, 'East Side Sushi' is the most ambitious project by director Anthony Lucero who previously worked as a vfx editor for blockbusters such as 'Harry Potter', 'Star Wars', 'The Hunger Games' or 'Iron Man'.
