October Winds

A modern fable about returning home and feeling out of place.

Directed by Heinz Kobernik

For Lourdes, a writer of the Salvadoran diaspora, returning to her native country means having to face complex emotions around a misogynistic environment that triggers her anxiety. Once there, she is forced to confront a lingering marriage crisis and reevaluate the meaning of freedom. “October Winds” is a modern fable about returning home and feeling out of place.
