Synopsis

He works all day long in the shadow of the ever present Heimlich Manouevre instruction poster which hangs in the diner kitchen. From his solitary kitchen corner Jorge gropes mutely for a bond with Amy (Eugenia Yuan), the newly hired Chinese waitress and even

though she tries to reciprocate, the gulf that separates them may be too large. He is continually tormented by his co-worker Jerry (Aaron Paul) and at home in his Harlem boarding, under the psychological control of his domineering room-mate, he battles his inner demons.
