Varsovia, Polonia, durante la crisis de los misiles de Cuba, 1962. Josh Mansky, un problemático genio de las matemáticas y antiguo campeón de ajedrez de los Estados Unidos de América, es reclutado para celebrar una peligrosa partida pública contra el campeón soviético al tiempo que se entrega al mortal juego del espionaje, oculto en las más oscuras sombras de un territorio hostil.
Writer
Living in East Los Angeles and working at a Japanese jazz bar, a young short-order cook faces deportation to Japan when his visa is denied. After what seems to be a connection with a Mexican Bakery worker turns into a misunderstanding, Shin experiences a side of Los Angeles invisible to his social circle of Japanese expats. Subdued and restrained, the film offers an unsentimental and personal portrait of living in between time zones and cultures in a city indicative of a world growing smaller.
