The Wind From The East

In a small seaside suburb two strangers arrive - Juan Olmedo, accompanied by his niece, and Sara Gomez, an enigmatic woman 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 toward a family and a poverty that repelled her. Now Sara has more money than 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 a 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.
