Overview

DOLORES tells the story of a young woman of Scottish descent who returns to the Argentine pampas after her sister dies, to take care of her eight-year-old nephew- but drawn also by the juvenile love she still feels for her English brother-in-law, Jack. Her love story develops in the context of the onset of World War II: while the echoes of war get ever closer, the dispute between Germans and Anglos turns personal when Dolores is seduced by a neighbouring landowner of German descent, Octavio Brandt- he becomes an unexpected love, and from now on Dolores is torn between Octavio and Jack, as Argentina changes for ever. In a society dominated by men, Dolores must now also forge her unique destiny.
