Samuel Goldwyn Films Release Of ‘TORTILLA SOUP’ In The Fall.

TORTILLA SOUP is about three grown women living with their father, a master chef, who has one simple rule: Don’t miss Sunday dinner.

Carmen (Jacqueline Obradors), a driven businesswoman, has the opportunity to move to Barcelona and make more money than she’s ever dreamed of. Does she do the sensible thing or follow her heart into the kitchen with her father?

Little sister Maribel (Tamara Mello) is supposed to be heading off to college in the Fall. When she meets Andy (Nikolai Kinski), a bohemian free spirit, she questions the way her life has been mapped out and decides not to rush into anything.

School-teacher Leticia (Elizabeth Peña), the oldest of the three sisters, has sworn off most things with the exception of her job and new-found religious devotion.

Never predictable, TORTILLA SOUP revolves around the relationships and romantic entanglements of the Naranjo family, headed by patriarch Martin (Hector Elizondo) who insists that Sunday evenings should be spent together. Attendance is non-negotiable. Change is not out of the question, but issues are to be brought up gently.

This is family, so anything goes. There’s always things simmering beneath the surface.  Add Hortensia (Raquel Welch), a lusty neighbor, to the pot and things get even more interesting, and the new baseball coach (Paul Rodriguez). What follows is a series of unforgettable Sunday meals — tasty offerings with a bevy of surprises. In this family, you bicker, fight and disapprove. Above all, you cook… and live your own life.

TORTILLA SOUP is directed by María Ripoll, executive produced by Samuel Goldwyn, Jr. and produced by John Bard Manulis.  Inspired by the film “Eat Drink Man Woman,” the screenplay is written by Tom Musca & Ramon Menendez and Vera Blasi.
