Plot
Victor is a cook who works in a greasy roadside restaurant owned by his mother, Dolly. It's just the two of them, a waitress named Delores, and a heavy drinking regular, Leo.
Sinekatalog’s take
A sensitive, slow indie about a shy, overweight cook living in the shadow of his mother's roadside diner. Little happens, yet the small gestures hold real hurt and hope. An understated debut-style character study for patient viewers.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
