Project Arts Centre presents
COMO AGUA PARA CHOCOLATE (LIKE WATER FOR CHOCOLATE)
The Dublin Latin American Film and Dance Festival presents Como Agua Para Chocolate.
Based on the best-selling novel by Laura Esquival, this internationally popular romantic fable from Mexico centers on a young woman who discovers that her cooking has magical effects.
The tale’s heroine, Tita, is the youngest of three daughters in a traditional Mexican family. Bound by tradition to remain unmarried while caring for her aging mother, Tita nevertheless falls in love with a handsome young man named 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 it her feel her heartbreak with the same intensity. This newly discovered power continues to manifest itself after the wedding, as Tita and Pedro, overcome by their denied love, embark on a secret affair.
The Dublin Latin American Film and Dance Festival is passing on culture across the new generations, along with Folkloric dance showcasing the strength, pride and uniqueness of Indigene people from South and Central America.
Film rating: 16+ with English subtitles
