Restaurant non-linear documentary Synopsis Bubble dancer is restaurant slang for ‘dishwasher’ — an iconic yet unglamorous figure used to toiling in the background. But what lies beyond the grease, grime, and grit of the dish pit? Take a tour of the streets and alleyways of St. John’s, one of the oldest cities in North America. And discover the humanity behind this so-called dead-end job through the voices of the men and women who make life easier for the rest of us.
