During the Mexican Civil War, the widow Elena raised three daughters alone. According to tradition, she put her eldest daughter's marriage first. When the young Pedro officially came to propose marriage and wanted to marry his youngest daughter, Tita, Elena suggested that Pedro should marry her eldest daughter Rosha, and said that Tita would have to wait for her to marry after a hundred years. Pedro accepted Elena's suggestion in order to get close to Tita. Poor Tita worked as the chef for the wedding banquet of his beloved, tears of sadness flowed into the delicacy, and all the guests tasted bitter. The old cook who taught her to cook with all her heart understood that Tita had received her true story. Twenty-two years later, Rosha died, and Tita, who had never been married, finally married Pedro, but the love and love that had been restrained and suppressed for too long led to their deaths.

Latin America is so full of magical realism that even making the heroine look like a sex-turned Gyllenhaal becomes magical. In this movie, one of the four daughters of a feudal female farmer died after eating a meal full of sadness made by her sister; the other was ignited by the passion in her sister's dishes, attracted soldiers and ruffians and became a generation of heroines after being kidnapped; A lover who was married to his sister by his mother's order finally died of depression and died of a digestive tract disease. After his death, he continued to fart; the last one was the heroine. The heroine remembered the legend of her ex-fiancé about matches, kept eating matches and wanted to see her lover again, and finally burned down with her house. Ten or twenty years ago, the heroine's mother was definitely a representative of feudal ethics and inhumanity. Now, in this environment of economic downturn, people spontaneously seek stability in everything. Instead, she manages the farm as a widow and pulls her daughter, and has the courage to hold a gun in front of foreign enemies. The defiant (and failed) side is admirable.

Doctor John Brown: My grandmother, Morning Star, was a Kikapu Indian. She said that we are all born with a match box inside of us, and we can't light them ourselves. We need, like in this experiment, oxygen and a candle. But in our case, the oxygen must come from the breath of the lover. The light of the candle can be anything. A song, a word, a caress, a sound. Just anything! Something that pulls the trigger and lights on of the matches. Each of us has to discover what our triggers to life are; because, the combustion of one of the matches feeds the soul. If there is no trigger for the matches, the match box gets damp, and we'll never be able to light any of them. There are many ways in which we can dry a damp match box. Rest assured, it can be solved. It's also very important to light the matches one by one. If an intense emotion were to light them all at once, they would create such a brilliant light, that before our eyes a tunnel would appear, magnificent, showing us the way we forgot when we were born. Calling us back to find our lost divine origin.
