Synopsis:
Set during the Mexican Revolution, the film follows Tita (Lumi Cavazos), a young woman forbidden by family tradition to marry her true love, Pedro (Marco Leonardi). Instead, Pedro marries Tita’s older sister, Rosaura, to stay close to her. Tita expresses her suppressed emotions through cooking, infusing her dishes with intense passion, sorrow, and even magical effects — making guests weep, burn with desire, or fall ill with longing. The title refers to the Mexican idiom “como agua para chocolate” (like water for chocolate — i.e., boiling hot with emotion). (Like Water for Chocolate), directed by Alfonso Arau
