A sweet, inspiring movie about food, family and culture, "East Side Sushi" is something more. Don't let it fool you: Beneath a delicate veneer is a tough, scrappy little picture. "Sushi" stars Diana Elizabeth Torres as Juana, a single mom living in Oakland. She operates a small fruit cart in her neighborhood with her father (Rodriguo Duarte Clark) and her young child. Juana is frustrated at her inability to find a good job in the U.S., though she's a more than competent chef. Her father has health issues but is content with the meager income the cart brings in.
