The restaurant is closed. The kitchen is empty. And for the first time in a long time, he’s cooking again.

Once a cook, now a reclusive dishwasher, a man stays behind after hours to prepare a meal in solitude. But as he settles into the familiar rhythms of the kitchen, he discovers he isn’t as alone as he thought.

What begins as a quiet return to something he once loved becomes an unexpected encounter with the past he’s tried to leave behind.

Dish Pit is an intimate story about identity, purpose, and rediscovering a part of yourself you thought you’d lost.

Directed by Anna Hopkins

Starring Matthew Gouveia and Austin Hutchings
