Storia
Isabella, a gifted Brazilian chef with a penchant for control and an innate ability to captivate men through her culinary skills, leaves her rocky marriage in Brazil and relocates to San Francisco to pursue a career as a TV cooking show host. Struggling initially due to chronic motion sickness, she finds love and newfound confidence in her adoptive city.
Riassunto
Directed by Fina Torres, 'Woman on Top' is a sensual comedy-drama that blends the intoxicating rhythms of Brazil with the vibrant backdrop of San Francisco. The film explores themes of independence, self-discovery, and the transformative power of passion and creativity through its titular character, played by Penélope Cruz. Despite some discrepancies in plot details between sources, such as whether Isabella's husband cheated first or if her motion sickness is mentioned, they all agree that she leaves Brazil for San Francisco to take charge of her life.
