Set during the Mexican Revolution, the story follows Tita de la Garza, the youngest daughter of a strict matriarch who forbids her to marry because tradition dictates she must care for her mother until death. Tita’s love for Pedro Muzquiz is thwarted when Pedro marries her older sister Rosaura to stay near Tita. Magic realism ensues: Tita’s emotions infuse her cooking, causing those who eat her meals to experience her joy, longing, grief, and rage.

Mama Elena is one of cinema’s most formidable matriarchs. She represents the "Law of the Father" within the domestic sphere. Her cruelty is not born of malice but of a rigid adherence to tradition (the rule that the youngest daughter must remain unmarried to care for the mother). She is a tragic figure who denies her own past of forbidden love, perpetuating the cycle of abuse. 1616-Como Agua Para Chocolate -1992- v.avi
