Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Tita is the youngest of three daughters in a Mexican family at the turn of the century.
An unbroken family tradition dictates that the youngest daughter is forbidden from marrying and must instead spend her life looking after her mother until death. Tita meets Pedro and falls in love, and he in turn asks for her hand in marriage.
However, Tita's mother refuses, and instead offers him Rosaura, Tita's elder sister. Pedro accepts Rosaura just to be close to Tita.
Tita finds this too much to bear and channels her passion for Pedro into her cooking, which leads to mystical and magical consequences.
