1
00:01:16,952 --> 00:01:19,079
It will be a great day for us, love.

2
00:01:48,275 --> 00:01:55,198
LIKE WATER FOR CHOCOLATE - THE SERIES

3
00:02:14,384 --> 00:02:16,511
I'm doing the right thing, right?

4
00:02:16,595 --> 00:02:18,930
If the decision comes from the heart,

5
00:02:19,931 --> 00:02:22,559
you're doing the right thing.

6
00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:21,368
Go!

7
00:04:09,374 --> 00:04:10,834
When Grace tells you,

8
00:04:10,917 --> 00:04:13,003
- you will bring the rings. Agree?
- Yes, dad.

9
00:04:13,086 --> 00:04:14,087
Excellent.

10
00:04:16,673 --> 00:04:18,884
Dad told me you'll have to tell me

11
00:04:18,966 --> 00:04:20,635
- when to wear rings.
- Well.

12
00:04:20,719 --> 00:04:22,554
But what should I do? I don't know how...

13
00:04:22,637 --> 00:04:25,265
- I'll let you know when the time comes.
- I don't... It's okay.

14
00:04:35,192 --> 00:04:37,903
- Here it is, here it is! The bride has arrived!
- I am fine?

15
00:04:37,986 --> 00:04:40,906
Look! She looks like a princess!

16
00:04:49,039 --> 00:04:50,165
Thank you, Dolphin.

17
00:04:55,837 --> 00:04:56,838
Thank you.

18
00:05:02,260 --> 00:05:03,512
Will you help me, Dolphin?

19
00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:12,646
Thank you.

20
00:06:22,966 --> 00:06:24,843
Welcome, brothers.

21
00:06:25,552 --> 00:06:31,308
May the blessing of Almighty God
descend upon you.

22
00:06:32,893 --> 00:06:34,144
The Lord said...

23
00:06:35,645 --> 00:06:37,647
"It is not good for man to be alone:

24
00:06:38,481 --> 00:06:42,110
I'll help him
that is suitable and similar to him."

25
00:06:43,612 --> 00:06:46,072
Today you are marrying this woman

26
00:06:46,156 --> 00:06:48,533
not to satisfy a passion,

27
00:06:48,617 --> 00:06:51,077
but with the best intentions.

28
00:06:51,161 --> 00:06:52,996
Almighty God,

29
00:06:53,705 --> 00:06:55,916
give us mercy

30
00:06:55,999 --> 00:07:00,420
and let us reach your Kingdom
united in grace.

31
00:07:00,503 --> 00:07:03,423
This is the Word of God.

32
00:07:03,506 --> 00:07:05,675
We give thanks to God.

33
00:07:06,301 --> 00:07:08,053
Let's get on our feet.

34
00:07:10,472 --> 00:07:13,224
We are here, in front of this altar

35
00:07:13,308 --> 00:07:17,562
for God to seal
with its infinite glory

36
00:07:17,646 --> 00:07:22,275
the will of both
to get married.

37
00:07:23,610 --> 00:07:24,986
Stand in front.

38
00:07:25,695 --> 00:07:27,405
Look each other in the eyes.

39
00:07:29,032 --> 00:07:34,663
Now I ask you:
you came here without constraints,

40
00:07:34,746 --> 00:07:37,290
freely and voluntarily?

41
00:07:38,500 --> 00:07:41,044
Yes, father. Freely.

42
00:07:47,550 --> 00:07:51,596
You are willing to love each other
and respect each other,

43
00:07:51,680 --> 00:07:56,058
living by the principles of marriage
for your entire life?

44
00:08:09,781 --> 00:08:13,785
You are willing to love each other
and respect each other,

45
00:08:13,868 --> 00:08:18,623
living by the principles of marriage
for your entire life?

46
00:08:35,222 --> 00:08:36,349
Excuse me.

47
00:08:38,308 --> 00:08:39,477
I cannot.

48
00:08:43,523 --> 00:08:44,524
What is he doing?

49
00:08:45,525 --> 00:08:47,027
May the Lord forgive her!

50
00:08:47,527 --> 00:08:49,070
What a shame.

51
00:08:50,071 --> 00:08:51,072
What's wrong with her?

52
00:09:04,210 --> 00:09:05,211
Pedro!

53
00:09:28,276 --> 00:09:30,570
- Attention, miss.
- Thank you, Dolphin.

54
00:09:46,377 --> 00:09:47,670
Tita!

55
00:09:48,254 --> 00:09:50,590
Tita! Where?

56
00:09:51,216 --> 00:09:52,425
- What's wrong with you?
- Tita!

57
00:09:53,134 --> 00:09:54,302
Rosaura!

58
00:09:56,971 --> 00:09:58,598
You knew that, right?

59
00:09:58,681 --> 00:10:00,809
Did you tell her to run away with him?

60
00:10:00,892 --> 00:10:03,686
- I don't know what you're talking about. Calm down!
- What did you do? Leave me!

61
00:10:11,486 --> 00:10:14,405
Rosaura, calm down, please.
You need to calm down.

62
00:12:52,021 --> 00:12:53,189
You're back.

63
00:12:57,694 --> 00:12:58,820
Rosaura.

64
00:13:00,238 --> 00:13:01,447
What happened to you?

65
00:13:02,031 --> 00:13:05,243
- Where have you been?
- We need to talk.

66
00:13:06,327 --> 00:13:07,328
No.

67
00:13:07,870 --> 00:13:10,081
No, don't say that, I don't want to listen to you.

68
00:13:22,051 --> 00:13:23,344
I'm going with Tita.

69
00:13:29,434 --> 00:13:31,519
We can't live like this anymore.

70
00:13:33,438 --> 00:13:35,273
No, I won't let you.

71
00:13:38,609 --> 00:13:41,154
Don't think we suffered
enough?

72
00:13:43,072 --> 00:13:46,826
If you hadn't accepted the deal
with my mother, no one would have suffered.

73
00:13:48,036 --> 00:13:49,787
I didn't deceive anyone!

74
00:13:50,496 --> 00:13:52,665
And I got married because I loved you!

75
00:13:56,419 --> 00:13:58,171
I will never love you.

76
00:14:03,926 --> 00:14:04,927
I know.

77
00:14:05,762 --> 00:14:07,055
Yes I know.

78
00:14:08,097 --> 00:14:09,515
And I don't care.

79
00:14:11,601 --> 00:14:14,896
Whether you want it or not,
I will stay by your side until I die.

80
00:14:18,191 --> 00:14:19,817
We still have time.

81
00:14:23,196 --> 00:14:25,031
You can be happy too.

82
00:14:30,870 --> 00:14:33,039
I will never be happy.

83
00:14:38,086 --> 00:14:39,921
And I won't let you be.

84
00:14:41,964 --> 00:14:45,259
If you leave home,
you will never see Esperanza again.

85
00:14:46,928 --> 00:14:48,513
You have already lost a child.

86
00:14:49,555 --> 00:14:51,307
Do you want to lose her too, Pedro?

87
00:15:01,359 --> 00:15:03,945
Are you leaving? And where will you stay?

88
00:15:04,028 --> 00:15:05,780
At the moment I don't know anything.

89
00:15:06,406 --> 00:15:08,449
The important thing is to have done the right thing.

90
00:15:09,283 --> 00:15:11,494
I knew you weren't convinced.

91
00:15:11,577 --> 00:15:13,746
It took me too long to decide.

92
00:15:14,956 --> 00:15:18,209
You were supposed to get married to the doctor.
That's all you had to do!

93
00:15:18,709 --> 00:15:22,046
Duty, tradition, good principles.
You're just like mom.

94
00:15:22,755 --> 00:15:25,383
Unimportant things. Don't you realize?

95
00:15:25,466 --> 00:15:27,135
Don't hit her!

96
00:15:28,010 --> 00:15:30,763
If mom was here,
this wouldn't have happened.

97
00:15:30,847 --> 00:15:33,391
- You certainly would have obeyed her!
- She lied to us.

98
00:15:33,474 --> 00:15:34,684
She was forced to marry.

99
00:15:34,767 --> 00:15:36,644
She loved another man.

100
00:15:37,520 --> 00:15:38,604
It is not true.

101
00:15:38,688 --> 00:15:40,731
So much for good principles.

102
00:15:41,732 --> 00:15:43,693
It's a lie, you're crazy.

103
00:15:43,776 --> 00:15:47,613
You're just saying that to hurt me. You always are
Be against me since you were little!

104
00:15:47,697 --> 00:15:49,282
You are only interested in appearance.

105
00:15:49,365 --> 00:15:51,534
You don't care about us.

106
00:15:55,830 --> 00:15:59,125
Get out of this house
and God damn you!

107
00:16:12,847 --> 00:16:15,266
When you know what to do, let me know.

108
00:16:17,351 --> 00:16:18,644
Be careful.

109
00:16:22,315 --> 00:16:23,483
I love you.

110
00:16:25,276 --> 00:16:26,319
Me too.

111
00:16:32,241 --> 00:16:35,286
And if Juan doesn't come back, I'll go to him
and I drag him by the ear.

112
00:16:36,037 --> 00:16:37,538
Or for the balls.

113
00:16:56,224 --> 00:16:57,225
John.

114
00:16:59,060 --> 00:17:00,394
What are you doing here?

115
00:17:03,189 --> 00:17:04,690
I wanted to say goodbye to you.

116
00:17:09,987 --> 00:17:11,155
It's for you.

117
00:17:12,448 --> 00:17:14,075
It was the wedding present.

118
00:17:28,548 --> 00:17:30,341
We all have a little box of it inside.

119
00:17:32,343 --> 00:17:35,221
But you need a detonator to light them.

120
00:17:36,180 --> 00:17:37,974
Legend says something else.

121
00:17:39,475 --> 00:17:42,728
That you have to be careful.
And turn them on one by one.

122
00:17:44,647 --> 00:17:46,857
Because if the emotion is too strong

123
00:17:47,400 --> 00:17:51,153
and they all light up at once,
the flame will burn forever.

124
00:17:57,159 --> 00:17:58,703
I didn't want to hurt you.

125
00:18:12,341 --> 00:18:13,467
I know.

126
00:18:18,139 --> 00:18:19,181
I know.

127
00:19:22,620 --> 00:19:25,581
If you want further explanations,
know that I don't intend to give it to you.

128
00:19:26,248 --> 00:19:27,291
No.

129
00:19:28,334 --> 00:19:30,419
I can't be without you anymore.

130
00:19:31,045 --> 00:19:32,171
Is he your son now?

131
00:19:32,797 --> 00:19:35,132
- I'm stupid.
- A fool.

132
00:19:37,343 --> 00:19:38,344
Excuse me.

133
00:19:40,221 --> 00:19:41,222
And then?

134
00:19:44,016 --> 00:19:45,601
I know you didn't cheat on me.

135
00:19:48,396 --> 00:19:50,231
I know who you are, Gertrudis.

136
00:19:50,856 --> 00:19:52,149
And then?

137
00:19:54,985 --> 00:19:56,404
Then what do you have to tell me?

138
00:19:58,739 --> 00:20:00,616
I was jealous, okay.

139
00:20:01,575 --> 00:20:04,203
I'm stupid
and my blood ran cold,

140
00:20:04,286 --> 00:20:05,329
believing that...

141
00:20:06,288 --> 00:20:08,082
I was in another relationship.

142
00:20:10,167 --> 00:20:11,293
And then?

143
00:20:11,752 --> 00:20:13,045
Excuse me.

144
00:20:15,297 --> 00:20:16,799
I missed you.

145
00:20:18,175 --> 00:20:19,343
Excuse me.

146
00:20:21,554 --> 00:20:22,722
Gertrudis.

147
00:20:24,598 --> 00:20:26,642
Are you coming or are you just standing there?

148
00:20:35,776 --> 00:20:37,153
Put him to sleep.

149
00:20:58,883 --> 00:21:00,092
What do you want?

150
00:21:01,844 --> 00:21:03,596
I won't have any more children.

151
00:21:05,347 --> 00:21:07,475
Esperanza will be by my side until I die.

152
00:21:11,979 --> 00:21:15,065
You can't see how much pain
caused this tradition?

153
00:21:16,734 --> 00:21:18,444
She's the only thing I have.

154
00:21:22,239 --> 00:21:25,618
Esperanza has the right to live
her life as she wishes.

155
00:21:42,051 --> 00:21:43,469
I can give it to him.

156
00:21:47,765 --> 00:21:49,975
But you won't have to leave her without a father.

157
00:21:52,812 --> 00:21:55,439
Go far away and don't come back.

158
00:22:49,034 --> 00:22:52,246
- I missed you.
- You more.

159
00:23:14,894 --> 00:23:16,228
Keep it.

160
00:23:16,312 --> 00:23:19,106
One day our José will want to see her.

161
00:23:20,482 --> 00:23:21,650
Yes.

162
00:23:25,112 --> 00:23:26,655
I have to go.

163
00:23:28,616 --> 00:23:31,785
There will be another way
to change things, I'm sure.

164
00:23:35,414 --> 00:23:38,083
You wanted to fight like me. What's wrong with you?

165
00:23:38,167 --> 00:23:40,002
It gets to me that we have a son.

166
00:23:42,880 --> 00:23:44,048
Well, you're right.

167
00:23:47,885 --> 00:23:50,679
But I can't give up
my men like this.

168
00:23:52,473 --> 00:23:54,558
I can't disappear without saying anything.

169
00:23:55,643 --> 00:23:57,937
- I'm not a deserter.
- Of course not.

170
00:23:58,896 --> 00:24:00,314
I know you're not.

171
00:24:02,650 --> 00:24:04,401
José needs you.

172
00:24:09,031 --> 00:24:10,532
So, come with me.

173
00:24:11,784 --> 00:24:15,412
You don't want to give up your ideas,
but I have mine too, Juan.

174
00:24:25,881 --> 00:24:27,383
I have no choice.

175
00:24:31,595 --> 00:24:33,013
What do you want, tell me?

176
00:24:33,847 --> 00:24:35,516
I want you to be careful.

177
00:24:42,815 --> 00:24:44,483
I'll be back for you two.

178
00:24:48,278 --> 00:24:49,279
I promise you.

179
00:25:25,315 --> 00:25:26,567
Here you are.

180
00:25:44,710 --> 00:25:45,836
Ready?

181
00:25:49,423 --> 00:25:50,424
Yes.

182
00:25:51,884 --> 00:25:53,177
What do you have?

183
00:25:55,721 --> 00:25:57,431
It's been a long day.

184
00:26:00,809 --> 00:26:02,144
But wonderful.

185
00:26:40,140 --> 00:26:41,517
Good night.

186
00:26:43,602 --> 00:26:44,895
Good night.

187
00:27:07,668 --> 00:27:08,794
Pedro.

188
00:27:09,837 --> 00:27:12,172
I am writing you this letter
because I don't have the courage

189
00:27:12,256 --> 00:27:14,633
to say goodbye looking into your eyes.

190
00:27:15,634 --> 00:27:17,594
I made a deal with Rosaura

191
00:27:18,762 --> 00:27:20,347
and I'm leaving forever.

192
00:27:23,851 --> 00:27:25,519
If we stay together,

193
00:27:26,311 --> 00:27:28,480
here or anywhere else,

194
00:27:30,107 --> 00:27:33,277
Rosaura will never let you see her again
Esperanza.

195
00:27:34,194 --> 00:27:36,113
And worse, he will condemn her

196
00:27:36,196 --> 00:27:38,991
to the same absurd tradition
that destroyed my life.

197
00:27:40,534 --> 00:27:42,286
I won't let that happen.

198
00:27:42,870 --> 00:27:44,872
Tradition will die with me.

199
00:27:47,249 --> 00:27:48,834
Take care of it.

200
00:27:48,917 --> 00:27:51,670
I will stay with her over the summer.

201
00:27:51,753 --> 00:27:57,342
I am sure that, together,
we will make her become a free woman.

202
00:27:59,052 --> 00:28:03,265
I give up my happiness,
so that Esperanza can have hers.

203
00:28:05,851 --> 00:28:07,603
But I give up on you too

204
00:28:08,854 --> 00:28:10,939
and I will go in search of freedom.

205
00:28:11,982 --> 00:28:12,983
Please...

206
00:28:14,526 --> 00:28:16,695
never doubt my love.

207
00:28:19,698 --> 00:28:22,993
As children we learned
to love each other from a distance.

208
00:28:25,704 --> 00:28:28,582
And I think the best thing
let's continue like this.

209
00:28:34,421 --> 00:28:35,839
Goodbye, Pedro.

210
00:28:54,816 --> 00:28:56,568
And so it was that that day,

211
00:28:56,652 --> 00:29:00,030
the lives of the de la Garza women
changed forever.

212
00:29:30,727 --> 00:29:33,605
While Tita faced
an internal revolution,

213
00:29:33,689 --> 00:29:37,734
the rebels, even though they were
weaker every day,

214
00:29:37,818 --> 00:29:39,695
they continued to fight.

215
00:29:39,778 --> 00:29:42,823
- Gertrudis! Here comes a man on a horse!
- Who?

216
00:29:42,906 --> 00:29:44,533
- Help me.
- You come. Give it to me.

217
00:29:46,076 --> 00:29:48,537
I'll keep it. Come on, run!

218
00:30:54,853 --> 00:30:56,396
Years passed

219
00:30:56,480 --> 00:31:01,735
and Rosaura kept her promise
to bring Esperanza to Tita every summer.

220
00:31:05,864 --> 00:31:07,157
Be careful.

221
00:31:15,540 --> 00:31:18,168
- Hello, Esperanza.
- Hello, Aunt Tita.

222
00:31:18,251 --> 00:31:20,796
Come on, let's go in. Can I help you? Here you are.

223
00:31:31,515 --> 00:31:35,727
Tita also did her part
and never looked for Pedro again.

224
00:31:36,228 --> 00:31:39,731
In return, he got to watch Esperanza grow up.

225
00:31:41,983 --> 00:31:46,863
As time goes by,
Tita found the peace she longed for.

226
00:31:48,031 --> 00:31:50,617
Life passed peacefully

227
00:31:50,700 --> 00:31:53,829
- between knitting, cooking...
- Turn on the gramophone.

228
00:31:53,912 --> 00:31:56,957
...and the wait that preceded
Esperanza's visits.

229
00:32:03,046 --> 00:32:05,674
And just like Nacha had done with her,

230
00:32:05,757 --> 00:32:09,010
he passed on to her all the secrets of cooking.

231
00:32:09,094 --> 00:32:11,430
And that peppermint is a variety of...

232
00:32:12,139 --> 00:32:13,181
Let's see...

233
00:32:13,890 --> 00:32:15,183
Mint.

234
00:32:16,143 --> 00:32:17,686
- Mint.
- Yes.

235
00:32:23,650 --> 00:32:26,903
Try to cut them thinner,
that way they cook better.

236
00:32:30,824 --> 00:32:33,743
Pedro was never more intimate with Rosaura.

237
00:32:34,244 --> 00:32:35,954
He was an exemplary father.

238
00:32:36,455 --> 00:32:39,207
He dedicated himself body and soul to his daughter

239
00:32:39,291 --> 00:32:42,919
and the fight for rights
of disadvantaged people.

240
00:32:43,837 --> 00:32:47,257
As a landowner, he promoted laws

241
00:32:47,340 --> 00:32:51,845
to improve working conditions
of people across the country.

242
00:32:59,644 --> 00:33:02,230
- Be careful, dear.
- Thank you, aunt.

243
00:33:03,648 --> 00:33:05,025
Come back soon.

244
00:33:06,234 --> 00:33:08,737
The years continued to pass.

245
00:33:09,237 --> 00:33:11,781
I guess in all that time

246
00:33:11,865 --> 00:33:15,494
Tita and Pedro didn't stop
to think about each other,

247
00:33:16,119 --> 00:33:21,583
but deep down they knew better than to stay distant
it was the best thing for everyone.

248
00:33:41,937 --> 00:33:43,104
Esperanza?

249
00:33:52,781 --> 00:33:54,115
Where is my daughter?

250
00:33:55,367 --> 00:33:56,451
I do not know.

251
00:34:17,597 --> 00:34:18,764
Esperanza!

252
00:34:20,850 --> 00:34:23,353
- We have guests.
- I'm coming, mom.

253
00:34:24,478 --> 00:34:26,188
- See you later, Alex.
- Later.

254
00:34:32,070 --> 00:34:33,362
Until we meet again.

255
00:34:36,199 --> 00:34:38,409
What were you doing with Dr. Brown's son?

256
00:34:40,161 --> 00:34:42,330
This is not an appropriate attitude.

257
00:34:43,206 --> 00:34:46,418
I don't feel well.
I need you to help me.

258
00:35:07,439 --> 00:35:10,108
Rosaura's discomfort worsened.

259
00:35:11,151 --> 00:35:12,736
Pedro's refusal...

260
00:35:14,613 --> 00:35:18,658
the secret desire to prevent
to Esperanza to find love

261
00:35:19,868 --> 00:35:23,163
and all the bitterness kept in his heart

262
00:35:23,246 --> 00:35:27,834
they slowly began to consume her inside.

263
00:36:02,869 --> 00:36:04,996
Mom! Mom...

264
00:36:05,538 --> 00:36:06,665
Mom, what's happening?

265
00:36:06,748 --> 00:36:07,916
Mom.

266
00:36:08,583 --> 00:36:10,835
Mommy. Mommy...

267
00:36:16,174 --> 00:36:17,550
She's dead.

268
00:36:29,729 --> 00:36:31,773
After Rosaura's death,

269
00:36:31,856 --> 00:36:34,734
Esperanza asked Tita
to help her cook

270
00:36:34,818 --> 00:36:37,487
for the big event
which was approaching.

271
00:36:38,738 --> 00:36:44,452
Tita accepted, knowing that, in those days,
Pedro would be in town on business.

272
00:36:55,338 --> 00:36:56,631
Return to the hacienda

273
00:36:56,715 --> 00:37:00,218
brought them back to memory
very difficult moments,

274
00:37:00,760 --> 00:37:03,179
but it also awakened beautiful memories,

275
00:37:03,263 --> 00:37:06,725
which had remained dormant
for many years.

276
00:37:39,799 --> 00:37:42,844
They prepared chili peppers in walnut sauce,

277
00:37:43,428 --> 00:37:48,558
the dish with which traditionally
Mexico's independence is celebrated.

278
00:37:54,355 --> 00:37:57,275
They say that if they are well cooked,

279
00:37:57,776 --> 00:38:00,612
they can turn on
the soul of those who taste them.

280
00:38:24,928 --> 00:38:27,597
Preparing that dish with Esperanza,

281
00:38:27,680 --> 00:38:30,975
in the kitchen where she was born,
she had grown up

282
00:38:31,059 --> 00:38:33,102
and he had learned many things

283
00:38:33,186 --> 00:38:36,981
had created in Tita
a deep emotion.

284
00:38:40,109 --> 00:38:44,906
And so, an intense feeling of freedom
took hold of her

285
00:38:44,989 --> 00:38:49,911
and once again pervaded all foods
that passed through his hands.

286
00:38:53,706 --> 00:39:01,464
CHILI PEPPERS IN NUT SAUCE

287
00:39:11,057 --> 00:39:14,227
- The parties here are extraordinary.
- Oh, thanks.

288
00:39:14,310 --> 00:39:16,855
- This too will be a success.
- I hope so too.

289
00:39:31,578 --> 00:39:34,414
Dad. Let me introduce you to some friends.

290
00:39:34,956 --> 00:39:36,291
- You come.
- Let's go.

291
00:39:39,460 --> 00:39:40,503
So how are you?

292
00:39:41,921 --> 00:39:44,507
- This is my father, Pedro.
- How is it going? Greetings.

293
00:39:44,591 --> 00:39:46,426
- And this is Mary.
- Much pleasure.

294
00:39:51,598 --> 00:39:53,099
I am grateful to life

295
00:39:53,641 --> 00:39:57,061
for uniting our paths
a long time ago.

296
00:39:57,896 --> 00:40:00,899
Today I want to toast to you...

297
00:40:01,566 --> 00:40:03,443
my beautiful Esperanza.

298
00:40:05,403 --> 00:40:06,696
And to all of you.

299
00:40:06,779 --> 00:40:08,531
- Health!
- Health!

300
00:40:08,615 --> 00:40:13,286
Me too! I would like to say something too,
before you start eating.

301
00:40:13,870 --> 00:40:14,954
If...

302
00:40:15,705 --> 00:40:17,540
If emotion allows me.

303
00:40:19,375 --> 00:40:21,669
I would like to thank my father,

304
00:40:22,253 --> 00:40:23,546
my mother,

305
00:40:24,839 --> 00:40:27,008
my dear father-in-law...

306
00:40:28,676 --> 00:40:30,303
and you, Alex,

307
00:40:30,845 --> 00:40:33,222
for making me
the happiest woman in the world.

308
00:40:34,057 --> 00:40:38,436
Finally, I would like to say thank you
a wonderful woman,

309
00:40:40,730 --> 00:40:42,857
who taught me by his example

310
00:40:43,650 --> 00:40:45,860
that I can achieve any goal,

311
00:40:47,695 --> 00:40:49,197
that there are no limits

312
00:40:50,698 --> 00:40:52,825
and that freedom is not a gift,

313
00:40:53,660 --> 00:40:55,703
but something we fight for every day.

314
00:40:58,539 --> 00:41:01,250
I know that if I'm here today...

315
00:41:04,629 --> 00:41:07,340
It's thanks to you, Tita.

316
00:41:07,924 --> 00:41:10,176
I'm happy to have you next to me.

317
00:41:12,011 --> 00:41:13,304
I have to say...

318
00:41:14,138 --> 00:41:16,307
that you were a second mother to me.

319
00:41:25,650 --> 00:41:28,319
- Health!
- Health!

320
00:41:30,488 --> 00:41:31,531
To the newlyweds!

321
00:41:33,199 --> 00:41:34,701
Health.

322
00:41:35,451 --> 00:41:36,452
My son.

323
00:41:54,345 --> 00:41:55,930
- Who will it be?
- I do not know.

324
00:41:56,014 --> 00:41:58,599
- Other guests?
- It's Josesimo, isn't it?

325
00:42:01,185 --> 00:42:03,354
Oh, it's my aunt Gertrudis.

326
00:42:03,938 --> 00:42:05,565
She's my aunt!

327
00:42:10,319 --> 00:42:11,612
What a joy!

328
00:42:14,949 --> 00:42:18,202
You are beautiful, all three of you. Oh, Fina!

329
00:42:18,828 --> 00:42:19,829
HI.

330
00:42:20,580 --> 00:42:22,498
- It's a pleasure, Tita.
- My pleasure.

331
00:42:23,124 --> 00:42:24,959
José, how you have grown!

332
00:42:25,043 --> 00:42:27,754
- I couldn't miss it.
- It's great to meet you.

333
00:42:29,088 --> 00:42:30,715
Let me introduce you to my family.

334
00:42:32,842 --> 00:42:35,470
- A thousand thanks.
- Sounds delicious.

335
00:42:48,566 --> 00:42:49,984
They are incredible.

336
00:42:51,611 --> 00:42:54,363
- They're excellent.
- The sauce melts in your mouth.

337
00:42:54,822 --> 00:42:57,200
And the chilies are so tender!

338
00:42:58,701 --> 00:43:00,578
Oh, Tita de la Garza!

339
00:43:00,661 --> 00:43:05,750
In a quick blink of an eye,
the chili peppers disappeared from the trays.

340
00:43:06,459 --> 00:43:09,796
The guests enjoyed them with pleasure.

341
00:43:09,879 --> 00:43:12,090
And in the meantime, one after another,

342
00:43:12,173 --> 00:43:15,384
they abandoned themselves
to the feeling of freedom

343
00:43:15,468 --> 00:43:18,429
with whom Tita had cooked
that flow.

344
00:43:23,476 --> 00:43:25,228
- Leo!
- Gentleman?

345
00:43:25,311 --> 00:43:27,105
- Play another one!
- With pleasure.

346
00:43:40,785 --> 00:43:41,911
My son.

347
00:45:59,632 --> 00:46:01,926
A good 20 years must have passed

348
00:46:02,009 --> 00:46:06,222
so that Pedro and Tita could
be together freely.

349
00:46:07,473 --> 00:46:10,726
They had waited for this moment
for a lifetime.

350
00:46:19,485 --> 00:46:24,323
And that day, their love
defied the passage of time.

351
00:47:48,449 --> 00:47:50,493
The desire of many years,

352
00:47:51,243 --> 00:47:52,995
the interminable wait,

353
00:47:53,829 --> 00:47:56,499
the intensity of the reunion...

354
00:47:57,958 --> 00:48:00,378
There were many emotions

355
00:48:00,461 --> 00:48:02,463
and there was so much love in that union

356
00:48:03,255 --> 00:48:06,467
that all matches
that they kept inside

357
00:48:06,550 --> 00:48:08,844
they lit up at the same time.

358
00:50:23,145 --> 00:50:28,776
A long time ago, I learned that stories
they are not totally true or false.

359
00:50:29,735 --> 00:50:36,200
Because they feed on half truths,
well-told lies or confusing memories.

360
00:50:37,993 --> 00:50:42,456
Memories that are lost
in the smoke of the stove,

361
00:50:42,540 --> 00:50:47,086
they are imbued with the smell of spices
and, as in a recipe,

362
00:50:47,169 --> 00:50:51,215
they mix
like other ingredients in food.

363
00:51:00,849 --> 00:51:05,271
This is the story of my great aunt Tita,

364
00:51:05,771 --> 00:51:09,817
of my great-grandmother Esperanza,
who found his recipe book,

365
00:51:09,900 --> 00:51:14,738
and the women of the de la Garza family
who came after them.

366
00:51:16,115 --> 00:51:18,951
A story that, whether true or false,

367
00:51:19,618 --> 00:51:23,372
reminds us that it is us
the masters of our destiny.

368
00:51:28,335 --> 00:51:32,381
A story that will live on
as long as there is someone

369
00:51:32,464 --> 00:51:34,592
who will cook those recipes.
