Synopsis: Tita and Pedro are passionately in love. But their love is forbidden by an ancient family tradition. To be near Tita, Pedro marries her sister. And Tita, as the family cook, expresses her passion for Pedro through preparing delectable dishes. Now, in Tita’s kitchen, ordinary spices become a recipe for passion. Her creations bring on tears of longing, heated desire, or chronic pain — while Tita and Pedro wait for the moment to fulfil their most hidden pleasures.
This event is organised by Dr Carmen Herrero
