El desquite

Sinopsis

Beginning of the 20th century. A small house is swept away by the unstoppable force of the Ñuble River. Anita is rescued from the riverbank while her parents disappear in the waters. She is given up for adoption to her godparents, who, unable to keep her, give her to a local hacienda, where she will be the lady-in-waiting of the sickly patroness, Lucia. When she dies, Anita stays to serve her employer, Don Pablo. She is already a woman and he is a single man. A strong attraction arises between the two. This sad story of love and revenge as strong and uncontrollable as the overflowing waters of the Ñuble River is one of the great works of Roberto Parra, Violeta’s younger brother and author of “La Negra Ester”.
