- Synopsis
- The daughter of an Englishman from Gibraltar and an Andalusian woman, Juanita rejects the historical changes taking place in Tangier, finding herself increasingly alone in this Paradise lost, surrounded by her sister Elena, who was educated at the French Lycée and sought her freedom; Esther, her close Sepharad friend, who dedicates her entire life to an impossible love affair with a Moroccan, and Hamruch the loyal housemaid, the lifelong companion who disappears one day, leaving Juanita to discover that she never really knew the woman. All lives set against a background of historical events: the Spanish Civil War with the entrance of Jalifeña troops to Tangier, WWII, with the arrival of refugees from Europe, and the Moroccan independence finally returning the city to its Arab origins. Juanita's tragedy lies in not realizing that her world is destined to disappear by the destructive and rejuvenating force of History.
