Paolo has just moved to Los Angeles, and there he manages to get a job in the kitchen of a restaurant owned by the couple Maya and the chef Carlos. For some reason, the restaurant is not doing as well as it should, considering how successful it is. Paolo is doing his best in the kitchen and takes over a few times when Carlos is busy, something that Carlos doesn't appreciate. At the same time, there are some shady guys hanging around the restaurant who seem to know Carlos.
Well, this was indeed a tedious hour that one will never get back. It's like they've taken several scenes and stitching them together into a film with a lot of filler. I think it's supposed to be somewhat artistic, with a blend of Italian film and Tati, but it fails completely due to poor performances from everyone, especially the writer and the director. It all becomes rather 'artsy fartsy,' simply put.
