About this event
La historia sigue a Tita de la Garza, hija menor de una familia tradicional, que desde su nacimiento queda condenada por la costumbre familiar a permanecer soltera para cuidar de su madre, Mamá Elena, hasta su muerte. Cuando Tita se enamora de Pedro Múzquiz, su madre se opone y le prohíbe casarse. Para estar cerca de ella, Pedro se casa con la hermana mayor de Tita, Rosaura. Esto condena a Tita a una vida de amor reprimido, con la cocina como espacio y metáfora de sus emociones. El realismo mágico se manifiesta cuando las emociones de Tita se proyectan en los platillos que cocina, afectando físicamente a quienes los prueban.
