The Wind from the East

Description

"In a small seaside suburb two strangers arrive - Juan Olmedo, accompanied by his mentally disabled brother and his young niece, and Sara Gomez, an enigmatic women in her fifties. Both have their reasons for fleeing the city." "Sara's father had returned from the Civil War a broken man, unable to support his family. In desperation, Sara's mother was forced to give up her young baby to her childless employer. Growing up amidst a background that would never truly be her own. Sara was forever caught between her love of the good life and her feelings of duty towards a family and a poverty that repelled her. Now Sara has more money then she ever dreamed of, but her freedom has come at a price." "Juan also has his reasons for starting a new life. A doctor in the local ER unit, he is haunted by a tragedy in his family's past and by a secret sexual obsession that threatens the fragile equilibrium he has found in his new home." Like the capricious winds that dominate the coast, bringing chaos or elemency in their wake, the lives of these two people are pitched from fortune to adversity by forces beyond their command.
