Sobre este filme

Passionada is a charming and surprising love story set in the Portuguese-American community of New Bedford, Massachusetts. Celia Amonte (Sofia Milos) is a beautiful widow in her mid-30s who buries her pain and loss by singing her native fado music. Her daughter, teenage Vicky (Emmy Rossum), secretly tries to fix up her mom on an Internet dating service and goes off on mysterious late-night excursions to the local casino. There she meets Charlie Beck (Jason Isaacs), a charming Englishman and professional gambler. When Charlie shows up at the restaurant where Celia is performing, he is struck by her beauty and the music's sensuality. Celia initially takes no interest in him, but Vicky approaches Charlie with a deal: she will "facilitate" his courtship of her mom if he teaches her how to gamble. © 2003 Sandyo Productions, LLC.
