CORTADO
A young, cross-cultural couple already on shaky ground is tested when an interaction at a local restaurant causes even more tension between the pair. Cortado is a nuanced, tense and explosive drama that handles the toxicity of failed communication, love lost and the frontiers that exist in international relationships.
