The fate of a restaurant hangs on the approval of a mysterious and powerful table of customers.

"Cruda" is an examination of how authoritarianism can extend into even the most unlikely of places, and the way it exerts pressure on every individual. On an otherwise normal night, fine dining chef Sorrentino and his kitchen are visited by a powerful customer. As the night wears on and his creations keep getting sent back to the kitchen, tensions rise and Sorrentino is forced to decide whether and how to respond to the customer's demands.
