El concursante

A spice company announces a nationwide contest where 2,000 pressure cookers will be handed out in exchange for 20 labels of one of their products. Obsessed with securing one of these cookers, Cristobal’s mother orders him to stand in line; when he arrives, he discovers that thousands more have been standing since the early morning hours. All hell breaks loose when the participants discover that their efforts will come to nothing. (Chicago Latino Film Festival)
