Movie Description In the spirit of LIKE WATER FOR CHOCOLATE comes this enchanting, humorous tale about Esperanza (Heredia), a fervently devout young widow who leaves the confines of her provincial village for the seedy back alleys and brothels of urban Mexico and Los Angeles in search for her missing daughter. Guided by visions of St. Jude, who appears in the grease of her oven door, Eperanza embarks on an incredible odyssey that puts her faith to the test while awakening her to a new world of sensuality and independence.
