Lo Que No Regamos

“Maria Elena and her family try to make a mushroom soup as their grandmother, Tita's, last wish before she passed away, but their family problems seem to get in the way of this simple task.”

The members of a Mexican family—María Elena, Doña Aurelia, Doña Elena, and Luisa—are mourning their grandmother and mother, Tita, the matriarch of the household, who, before passing away, passed down to them her recipe for mushroom cream soup, which they used to share regularly as a family dinner. However, over the years, tensions arose among the family members, eventually severing their bonds. Their challenge now is to cook the mushroom cream soup just as Tita used to, while the ingredients and the kitchen come to life and serve as symbols of the family’s disintegration. María Elena struggles to keep her family united and the memory of her Tita alive.
