SIN QUERER - Time of the flamingos

“Sin Querer” is a heartfelt drama that explores unexpected love and personal growth. It follows two individuals from different backgrounds who form a deep connection despite their differences. 

It is summer in the remote village of San Lorenzo. A young engineer from the city arrives at the same time migrating flamingos reach what seems like the end of the world. The overland transport of a steam ship awakens dreams, desires and hopes in the people of San Lorenzo. Progress and prosperity are just within reach. But the engineer’s presence upsets the rigid sense of order in the village and after he leaves, things only appear to have remained the same.
