No, that will never happen.

Haven't we both suffered enough?

I won't allow you or Tita to be happy.

If you leave this house,
you'll never see Esperanza again.

You've already lost a son.
111

Do you want to lose her too?

Right now, I don't know a thing.

What matters is
that I did what I had to do.

I knew you weren't sure.

It took me too long to decide.
118

Marrying the doctor was your duty.

All you had to do was that!

You sound exactly like Mom.

Don't hit her!
123
00:15:28,219 --> 00:15:30,680
If Mom were here,
none of this would have happened.

You would have obeyed her!
125
00:15:32,390 --> 00:15:34,600
She lied to us.
She was forced to get married.
126
00:15:35,059 --> 00:15:36,352
She loved another man.
127

That's not true.

It was your wedding gift.
151
00:17:28,422 --> 00:17:30,341
We all have an inner box of matches.
152

Forgive me.

I won't have more children.
197
00:21:05,347 --> 00:21:07,516
Esperanza will stay with me until I die.
198
00:21:11,896 --> 00:21:14,815
{\an8}Don't you realize
how harmful that tradition has been?
199
00:21:16,609 --> 00:21:18,277
It's the only thing I have.
200
00:21:21,906 --> 00:21:25,451
Esperanza has the right
to live the life she wants.
201
00:21:41,884 --> 00:21:43,511
I'm willing to accept that.
202
00:21:47,723 --> 00:21:49,850
But don't take her father away from her.
203
00:21:52,770 --> 00:21:53,771
Go far away
204
00:21:53,896 --> 00:21:55,439

Keep it in a safe place.
211
00:23:16,562 --> 00:23:18,689
Someday, our Josecito will see it.
212
00:23:20,524 --> 00:23:21,525
Yes.
213
00:23:25,154 --> 00:23:26,864
I must go back.
214
00:23:28,574 --> 00:23:31,660
I'm sure there's
another way of changing things.
215
00:23:35,372 --> 00:23:36,790
You wanted to fight like me.
216
00:23:36,916 --> 00:23:37,958
What happened?
217
00:23:38,083 --> 00:23:39,835
Well, we have a son now.
218
00:23:42,713 --> 00:23:43,839
Yes, that's true.
219
00:23:47,843 --> 00:23:50,429
But I can't walk out on my men.
220
00:23:52,431 --> 00:23:54,224
I can't just vanish into thin air.
221
00:23:55,601 --> 00:23:56,560
I'm not a deserter.
222
00:23:56,685 --> 00:23:57,728
Of course not.
223
00:23:58,812 --> 00:24:00,064
You're not. I know that.
224
00:24:02,691 --> 00:24:04,485
But José needs you.
225
00:24:08,989 --> 00:24:10,199
Then let's go.
226
00:24:11,742 --> 00:24:15,079
You won't abandon your ideas,
and I won't abandon mine either.
227
00:24:25,798 --> 00:24:27,091
I have no choice.
228
00:24:31,595 --> 00:24:32,846
What do you really want?
229
00:24:33,764 --> 00:24:35,599
I want you to take care of yourself.
230
00:24:42,731 --> 00:24:44,483
I'll come back for you two.
231
00:24:47,778 --> 00:24:49,029

Good evening.

00:27:07,626 --> 00:27:08,669
(Tita) Pedro,
244
00:27:09,837 --> 00:27:11,296
I'm writing this letter
245
00:27:11,421 --> 00:27:14,675
because I'm not brave enough
to look at you and say goodbye.
246
00:27:15,384 --> 00:27:17,261
I've accepted Rosaura's deal,
247
00:27:18,762 --> 00:27:20,139
and I'm leaving for good.
248
00:27:23,809 --> 00:27:25,394
If we stay together,
249
00:27:26,145 --> 00:27:28,188
be it here or somewhere else,
250
00:27:30,065 --> 00:27:32,943
Rosaura won't allow you
to see Esperanza again.
251
00:27:34,069 --> 00:27:36,613
What's even worse,
she'll condemn her to undergo
252
00:27:36,738 --> 00:27:38,991
the same absurd
tradition that ruined my life.
253
00:27:40,367 --> 00:27:42,119
I won't allow that to happen.
254
00:27:43,036 --> 00:27:44,788
That tradition will die with me.
255
00:27:47,124 --> 00:27:48,750
Take care of Esperanza.
256
00:27:48,876 --> 00:27:51,003
I'll take care of her during summer.
257
00:27:51,712 --> 00:27:52,921
I'm sure that
258
00:27:53,213 --> 00:27:54,339
both you and I
259
00:27:54,756 --> 00:27:57,092
will help her become a free woman.
260
00:27:58,969 --> 00:28:00,888
Today I'm giving up on happiness
261
00:28:01,013 --> 00:28:03,223
so that Esperanza can be happy.
262
00:28:05,809 --> 00:28:07,394
I'm also giving up on you
263
00:28:08,812 --> 00:28:10,480
and I'll go after my freedom.
264
00:28:12,441 --> 00:28:13,483
Please...
265
00:28:14,401 --> 00:28:16,778
never doubt my love for you.
266
00:28:19,656 --> 00:28:22,910
{\an8}We've been loving each other
from a distance since our childhood.
267
00:28:25,704 --> 00:28:28,957
{\an8}I think it will be better
for everyone if things remain like this.
268
00:28:34,254 --> 00:28:35,464
Goodbye, Pedro.

00:28:35,672 --> 00:28:37,341
{\an8}[♪]
270
00:28:54,858 --> 00:28:56,318
(narrator) That day,
271
00:28:56,443 --> 00:28:59,905
the life of the De la Garza women
changed for good.
272
00:29:30,727 --> 00:29:33,397
While Tita fought an inner revolution,
273
00:29:33,522 --> 00:29:34,940
the rebels,
274
00:29:35,065 --> 00:29:37,526
despite getting weaker and weaker,
275
00:29:37,776 --> 00:29:39,111
kept fighting too.
276
00:29:39,236 --> 00:29:40,320
(woman) Gertrudis!
277
00:29:40,445 --> 00:29:41,405
A horseman!
278
00:29:41,530 --> 00:29:42,698
Who is he?
279
00:29:42,823 --> 00:29:44,408
- Help me.
- Give him to me.
280
00:29:46,034 --> 00:29:48,245
I'll take care of him. Go ahead, run!

{\an8}[♪]
282
00:30:54,853 --> 00:30:56,229
(narrator) Time went by,
283
00:30:56,355 --> 00:30:58,190
and Rosaura kept her word.
284
00:30:58,315 --> 00:31:01,276
She took Esperanza to Tita each summer.
285
00:31:05,989 --> 00:31:07,115
Be careful.
286
00:31:15,374 --> 00:31:16,333
Hi, Esperanza!
287
00:31:16,500 --> 00:31:18,085
Hi, Aunt Tita!
288
00:31:18,210 --> 00:31:20,170
Come on in. Want some help?
289
00:31:31,348 --> 00:31:33,517
(narrator) Tita also
fulfilled the agreement.
290
00:31:33,642 --> 00:31:35,394
She never ever went after Pedro.
291
00:31:36,186 --> 00:31:39,398
In exchange, she saw Esperanza grow.
292
00:31:42,025 --> 00:31:43,443
Eventually,
293
00:31:43,944 --> 00:31:46,530
Tita found the peace
she'd been longing for so long.
294
00:31:48,031 --> 00:31:50,033
She lead a quiet life,
295
00:31:50,534 --> 00:31:52,077
what with knitting,
296
00:31:52,202 --> 00:31:53,537
cooking,
297
00:31:53,662 --> 00:31:56,998
and her next chance
of spending time with Esperanza.
298
00:32:03,046 --> 00:32:05,465
And, like Nacha had done with her,
299
00:32:05,590 --> 00:32:08,468
Tita taught Esperanza
all her cooking secrets.
300
00:32:08,593 --> 00:32:11,096
(Tita) And this herb
with a particular smell is...
301
00:32:11,221 --> 00:32:13,682
It's a herb...? [laughs]
302
00:32:13,890 --> 00:32:15,016
(Tita) It's mint!
303
00:32:16,226 --> 00:32:17,394
Right, mint!
304
00:32:23,483 --> 00:32:26,653
Make thinner slices
so that cooking them is easier.
305
00:32:30,699 --> 00:32:34,077
{\an8}(narrator) Pedro never was
on intimate terms with Rosaura again.
306
00:32:34,202 --> 00:32:35,620
He was an exemplary father.
307
00:32:36,413 --> 00:32:39,082
He devoted
body and soul to this daughter
308
00:32:39,207 --> 00:32:42,586
and to fight for the rights
of the underprivileged people.
309
00:32:43,712 --> 00:32:47,090
As a landowner,
he promoted the creation of laws
310
00:32:47,215 --> 00:32:51,261
to improve people's
working conditions in the country.
311
00:32:59,561 --> 00:33:01,021
(Tita) Safe travels, honey.
312
00:33:01,146 --> 00:33:02,272
Thank you, Aunt.
313
00:33:03,482 --> 00:33:05,066
Don't take long to return.
314
00:33:06,234 --> 00:33:08,445
(narrator) Time continued to pass.
315
00:33:09,279 --> 00:33:11,615
I guess that, in the meantime,
316
00:33:11,740 --> 00:33:15,160
Tita and Pedro never
stopped thinking about each other.
317
00:33:16,077 --> 00:33:19,164
Deep down, they knew
that being away from each other
318
00:33:19,289 --> 00:33:21,333
was the best for everybody.
319
00:33:42,020 --> 00:33:43,230
(Rosaura) And Esperanza?
320
00:33:52,614 --> 00:33:53,823

{\an8}I don't think
{\an8}a young lady should behave like that.

Pedro's rejection,

{\an8}her secret desire
to prevent Esperanza from finding love
339
00:35:19,743 --> 00:35:22,746
and all the bitterness
she'd been keeping in her heart
340
00:35:23,246 --> 00:35:24,831
made her rot inside

{\an8}Esperanza asked Tita
to help her cook for an upcoming event.
354

Tita accepted
355
00:36:39,989 --> 00:36:43,785
{\an8}because she knew
that Pedro would be busy in town.
356
00:36:55,296 --> 00:36:56,548
Getting back to the ranch
357
00:36:56,673 --> 00:36:59,843
brought painful moments
back to Tita's memory.

Preparing this dish with Esperanza
367
00:38:27,597 --> 00:38:29,557
in the kitchen where she was born,
368
00:38:29,974 --> 00:38:32,685
where she grew up
and learned so many things,
369
00:38:33,061 --> 00:38:36,564
moved Tita very deeply.
370
00:38:39,984 --> 00:38:41,277
Therefore,
371
00:38:41,444 --> 00:38:44,531
she felt a strong
sense of freedom grow within her
372
00:38:44,948 --> 00:38:49,410
{\an8}and again, this feeling
spread into all of the food she touched.

Dad!
377
00:39:32,787 --> 00:39:34,789
Let me introduce you to some friends.
378
00:39:34,914 --> 00:39:36,374
- Come here.
- Okay.
379
00:39:39,377 --> 00:39:40,545
How are you?
380
00:39:41,796 --> 00:39:43,673
- (Esperanza) This is Beto.
- (Pedro) Hi.
381
00:39:43,798 --> 00:39:45,341
- (Beto) Hi!
- And his wife.
382
00:39:45,466 --> 00:39:46,509
(Pedro) Hi!

384
00:39:51,598 --> 00:39:53,016
I thank life
385
00:39:53,516 --> 00:39:56,769
for making our paths cross long ago.
386
00:39:57,812 --> 00:39:59,063
Today I want to toast
387
00:39:59,856 --> 00:40:00,899
to you,
388
00:40:01,524 --> 00:40:03,151
my beautiful Esperanza.
389
00:40:05,069 --> 00:40:06,613
And to all of you as well!
390
00:40:06,738 --> 00:40:07,989
Cheers!
391
00:40:08,114 --> 00:40:10,867
- (everybody) Cheers!
- (Esperanza) I want to speak too!
392
00:40:11,034 --> 00:40:13,036
And before we start eating!
393
00:40:13,786 --> 00:40:14,829
That is...
394
00:40:15,663 --> 00:40:17,457
if I'm not overcome with emotion.
395
00:40:19,167 --> 00:40:20,877
I want to thank my father,
396
00:40:22,378 --> 00:40:23,588
my mother,
397
00:40:24,756 --> 00:40:26,549
my dear father-in-law,
398
00:40:28,885 --> 00:40:30,053
and you, Alex,
399
00:40:30,720 --> 00:40:33,139
for making me
the happiest woman in the world.
400
00:40:33,932 --> 00:40:34,974
I also...
401
00:40:35,642 --> 00:40:38,478
want to say thanks to a great person.
402
00:40:40,688 --> 00:40:42,857
This person has taught me and shown me
403
00:40:43,566 --> 00:40:45,860
that I can achieve
whatever I want in life,
404
00:40:47,654 --> 00:40:49,113
that there are no limits,
405
00:40:50,698 --> 00:40:52,659
and that freedom isn't a gift,
406
00:40:53,576 --> 00:40:55,745
you have to fight for it
every single day.
407
00:40:58,498 --> 00:41:01,000
I know that today I'm here...
408
00:41:04,504 --> 00:41:05,546
thanks to you,
409
00:41:06,172 --> 00:41:07,256
Tita.
410
00:41:08,091 --> 00:41:10,051
I'm so happy to have you near me.
411
00:41:11,886 --> 00:41:12,929
To be honest,
412
00:41:13,930 --> 00:41:16,182
you've been like a second mother to me.
413
00:41:25,441 --> 00:41:26,442

00:43:02,580 --> 00:43:05,208
the chiles disappeared from the trays.
442
00:43:06,334 --> 00:43:09,587
Guests savored them with pleasure.
443
00:43:09,921 --> 00:43:11,881
And while they were at it, one by one,
444
00:43:12,006 --> 00:43:15,134
they allowed themselves
to feel the freedom
445
00:43:15,259 --> 00:43:18,262
with which Tita had cooked that dish.

{\an8}Pedro and Tita
finally felt free to be together.

They had been waiting
for this moment their whole life.

the endless waiting,

the intensity of such reunion.
463

There were so many feelings,
464
00:48:00,336 --> 00:48:02,380
there was so much love in that union
465
00:48:03,172 --> 00:48:06,008
that all the matches they had within

[Tita moans]

(narrator) A long time ago,
469
00:50:24,647 --> 00:50:28,442
I learned that stories
are not entirely true or false,
470
00:50:29,610 --> 00:50:31,695
because they're nurtured
with half-truths,
471
00:50:32,238 --> 00:50:33,739
with well told lies,
472
00:50:34,281 --> 00:50:36,075
or with blurred memories.
473
00:50:37,785 --> 00:50:39,119
Memories...
474
00:50:39,411 --> 00:50:42,081
that get lost in smoking fires
475
00:50:42,456 --> 00:50:45,167
or that get imbued
with the smell of spices,
476
00:50:45,417 --> 00:50:46,835
and, like in any recipe,
477
00:50:47,169 --> 00:50:50,714
they get mixed
like any other ingredient.

of Tita, my great-great aunt,
481
00:51:05,729 --> 00:51:09,275
of Esperanza, my great-grandmother,
who rescued her book of recipes,
482
00:51:09,692 --> 00:51:14,530
{\an8}and of each and every other
De la Garza women that came after them.
483
00:51:16,156 --> 00:51:18,742
A story that,
whether it may be true or false,
484
00:51:19,493 --> 00:51:22,871
reminds us that we women
are the owners of our destiny.
485
00:51:28,294 --> 00:51:30,504
A story that will continue to exist
486
00:51:30,629 --> 00:51:32,214
as long as there is someone
487
00:51:32,381 --> 00:51:34,174
who cooks its recipes.
