  • The Language House 4411 Avenue B Austin, TX, 78751 United States (map)

Come join us on Saturday, November 15, at 5pm for special screening of Como agua para chocolate (Like Water for Chocolate) — a sensual and stirring Mexican classic directed by Alfonso Arau and based on the bestselling novel by Laura Esquivel. You all will also enjoy some food featured in the film as well as beverages!

Set during the Mexican Revolution, the film tells the story of Tita, a young woman whose deep emotions are channeled into her cooking. Forbidden to marry the man she loves, Tita expresses her passion, sorrow, and rebellion through food — with magical results. This film is rich in love, tradition, family drama, and magical realism, offering a beautiful taste of Mexican culture and storytelling.

After the movie, stick around for a discussion in Spanish led by Ryan Woodall. It’s a perfect chance to practice listening and speaking in a relaxed, social setting! Food & drinks will be provided! Limited to 12 students. Please note that you need to be in the Intermediate or higher levels to attend. Cost to attend is $50 and you can use your $15 course credit toward this event.
