Woman On Top is a spicy, sexy comedy about the magic of food, love and music.
Director Fina Torres presents a love story, focusing on the story of Isabella (Cruz) a top-notch chef and glowing beauty, born with the special gift of melting the palates and hearts of men everywhere.
Isabella isn't happy slaving away at her husband Toninho's (Benicio) restaurant in Brazil.
When she catches him cheating on her, she packs her bags and leaves Brazil to start a new life in San Francisco, where she hopes to pursue her dreams of a real culinary career.
On arrival, Isabella reunites with her exuberant, cross dressing childhood friend, Monica (Perrineau, Jr.) who joins Isabella's journey to discover her passion and potential.
She has men falling for her everywhere she goes, including Cliff (Feuerstein), a TV producer whose boss, Alex (John De Lancie), is pressuring him for a new show to boost ratings.
The answer is Passion Food Live, a cooking show starring Isabella as the chef.
The film explores two of Cruz's love affairs: one with a restaurant-owner, and the other with the television producer of a cooking programme.
A captivating story, Woman On Top is a romantic and fun film with a lively Brazilian spirit.
