This month's
Food 'n Flix pick is the 1995 drama
A Walk in the Clouds starring Keanu Reeves and Aitana Sánchez-Gijón. Although this movie is over 20 years old, it was my first time watching it. Growing up in the time of
Bill & Ted and
Point Break, I can't help but be a Keanu fan. And the female lead is actually the stars of one of my favorite shows,
Velvet (a Spanish show that I discovered on Netflix...I am very impatiently waiting for them to add season 3).
A Walk in the Clouds is set in 1945 at the end of World War II in California. Paul, a young soldier returns home from war eager to start a family with the wife that he barely knows. At her encouragement, he returns to his previous job selling chocolates, even though it isn't what he wants. On the train, he meets Victoria, a young woman heading home to face her family with the news that she is pregnant and the father has abandoned her.
