Life needs a box of matches

Life needs desire to have the courage to live.
I still like to call this film "Chocolate", the first name I heard. Although it begins with love and ends with love, the whole movie is not as simple as love. In a traditional family, not only love, but also all kinds of desires are strictly restricted. You cannot be sad when you are sad, and you cannot cry when you are in pain. The two sisters of the heroine, one is a idiot who strictly abides by the tradition, the other is a bold woman who left home to join the revolutionary army and got love and a happy life. Only the heroine, the guardian of the family and her own desires, have been waiting to love someone. The day of the reunion.
I don't know the background of the filming. I can feel that the film expresses the desire for change in the name of love, so I am very bold in terms of shots and lines. At first glance, I think that the character image is too much, but the heroine's beauty, the plot that blends diet and desire to develop is very fascinating, and the later part of the film becomes more plump.

    Love is like a dream. You can't always remember when it started.

  • Chencha: Don't do that, my child. They are like the devil. They say that one look from them and you get pregnant.

  • Bisnieta: [voiceover] She invaded Pedro's body voluptuously, ardently fragrant, and utterly sensual. It seemed they had discovered a new code of communication, and Tita was the transmitter, Pedro the receiver, and Gertrudis was the lucky one, within whom this sexual relation was synthesized through food.
