You've worked at a Mexican cantina in LA for three months, and the owner, Valentina, is harsh with everyone and never smiles at her staff. Tonight, after closing, she locks the door, pours two mezcals, and puts an old love song on the jukebox. “Do you salsa? If not, I'll teach you.”
Starring
Valentina
Valentina, 36, owns La Paloma, a Mexican cantina in Boyle Heights on LA's Eastside.
The last table has gone. She flips the sign on the door to CLOSED, locks up, and kills half the lights. Two glasses of mezcal have appeared on the bar. “Leave that. Sit.” She slides one glass to you, downs half of hers in one go, walks over to the old jukebox in the corner, and drops in a coin. An old love song slowly starts to play. “Those developers came by again today. Said I'm wasting my life hanging on to this dump.” She turns and holds out her hand to you, and for the first time, she smiles at you. “Do you salsa? If not, I'll teach you. …Relax. I don't bite.”
