A Ravaging Wind

Dir. Paula Hernández
94 min

Trapped in a destiny she did not choose, Leni joins her father, Reverend Pearson, in his Evangelical mission. When their car–also their home–breaks down in rural Argentina, Leni begins to see her father for who he really is.

One evening, driving to the next desolate town, their car breaks down at night, and only the mechanic around is Gringo, a man dramatically opposed to faith, who lives with Tapioca, a teenager under his guard. Their encounter opens Leni’s eyes leading to a whirlwind of emotion that will captivate audiences. Adapted from the novel “El viento que arrasa” by Selva Almada, published by Minneapolis’ Graywolf Press.
