Two countries, two restaurants, one vision. At Gabriela Cámara's acclaimed Contramar in Mexico City, the welcoming, uniformed waiters are as beloved by diners as the menu featuring fresh, local seafood caught within 24 hours. The entire staff sees themselves as part of an extended family. Meanwhile at Cala in San Francisco, Cámara hires staff from different backgrounds and cultures, including ex-felons and ex-addicts, who view the work as an important opportunity to grow as individuals. A Tale of Two Kitchens explores the ways in which a restaurant can serve as a place of both dignity and community.

Screenplay
В 2007 году в Мехико были обнаружены три чемодана, в которых в общей сложности сохранились более 4500 негативов трех испанских фотографов Роберта Капы, Герды Таро и Дэвида «Чим» Сеймура. Эти неизвестные страницы истории позволили по кусочкам восстановить Испанию времен Второй Мировой войны, которую освещали военные фотографы. За каждым кадром стоит чья-то жизнь, чьи-то близкие и родные, каждая фотография — человеческая судьба, полная боли и страданий. Спустя семьдесят лет документальная лента «Мексиканский чемодан» освещает те эпизоды в мировой истории, забывать о которых никогда нельзя.
