Desayuno Chino

Synopsis

«There is nothing more Panamanian», says the poster, and it is talking about a Cantonese breakfast. In the Chinese restaurants of Panama City, the ones that open before dawn and the ones already on their third generation, dim sum is ordered at the corner table and washed down with coffee.

The film goes into those kitchens and into the family albums to tell how a custom that arrived with Chinese migration ended up Panamanian. Directed by María Isabel Burnes, produced by Too Much in co-production with Cine Animal.
