Like Water For Chocolate Director: Alfonso Arau Duration: 1 hour and 45 minutes Cast: Lumi Cavazos, Marco Leonardi, Regina Torné and Yareli Arizmendi Plot: Tita is the youngest of three daughters in a traditional Mexican family. Bound by tradition to remain unmarried while caring for her ageing mother, Tita nevertheless falls in love with Pedro. Pedro returns her affection, but he cannot overcome her family’s disapproval, and he instead marries Tita’s elder sister. The lovestruck young woman is brutally disappointed, and her sadness has such force that it infects her cooking: all who eat her food feel her heartbreak with the same intensity.
