ABOUT THE SCREENING
The youngest daughter in her family, the beautiful Tita (Lumi Cavazos) is forbidden to marry her true love, Pedro (Marco Leonardi). Since tradition dictates that Tita must care for her mother, Pedro weds her older sister, Rosaura (Yareli Arizmendi), though he still loves Tita. The situation creates much tension in the family, and Tita’s powerful emotions begin to surface in fantastical ways through her cooking. As the years pass, unusual circumstances test the enduring love of Pedro and Tita.
Based on the popular novel, published in 1989 by first-time Mexican novelist Laura Esquivel, Like Water for Chocolate earned all 11 Ariel awards, including the Ariel Award for Best Picture, and became the highest grossing Spanish-language film ever released in the United States at the time.
The score was written by Cuban composer, conductor, and classical guitarist Leo Brouwer (Juan Leovigildo Brouwer Mezquida).
