Documentary that explores the festival known as the Day of the Dead (Dia de los Muertos), highlighting Mexican traditions and ancient ways that still exist -- all of these interpreted through Mexican cuisine. Each year during the last week of October, Mexican communities begin preparations for the age-old festival. For each family, it is a remembrance of a departed loved one. On a larger scale, it also memorializes all ancestral Mexicans and the gifts that they passed on to their descendants, especially food and culture.
