Woman on Top -- Food and romance go together perfectly in this tale of an enchanting woman trying to come out on top.

Lifelong friends Deco and Naldinho, who own a small steaming boat in Bahia, meet strip-dancer Karinna. Both men fall for her and their friendship is deeply shattered.

When Isabella (Penelope Cruz) decides to break free from her rocky marriage and move to San Francisco, she discovers the perfect recipe for coming out on top - her own hit TV cooking show. But when her producer falls in love and her ex-husband comes to town to win her affection back, who knows which man will end up on the bottom?

Marieta Severo, Julia Lemmertz and Maria Luisa Mendonca star in this film about a mother, Filomena Capaccio, whose husband and two sons are murdered by the children of a man from her past, Firmino Santos Guerra. She'd been engaged to Firmino 30 years before, but left him for the man she eventually married, raising Firmino's ire. Filomena fights back, using her three daughters -- Maria Francisca, Maria Rosa and Maria Pia -- as her weapons.
