Tonkotsu Storm

When her Japanese guest chef walks out, ambitious producer Madeline makes a desperate, career-saving gamble: she replaces them with someone just as “diverse” – the studio’s Filipino cleaner, Gloria. The crew is stunned, and Madeline is terrified. Gloria is her mother, and despite working in the same building, Madeline has spent years keeping her at an emotional distance.
