The Daughter of the Storm

At the beginning of the sixties, Cataluña receives an immense wave of immigrants from Andalusia. Laborers fleeing their homeland with its scarcity of jobs and sub-human working conditions arrive in Barcelona on the Catalan train. At the same time, Terrassa is undergoing an industrial boom: the smoke from the chimneys of the textile plants is a testimony to its growing affluence.

This is the history of a sixteen-year-old boy from Cordoba who arrives in Terrassa with his entire family and a suitcase full of hopes and dreams. The discovery of a new world and new friendships fills his days. A story of survival in the 1960s amid factories, mansions, and slums, against the backdrop of a tragic event, the infamous flood that ravaged Vallès Occidental in 1962 and changed people’s lives forever.
