| Description: |
Urania Cabral, now a lawyer, returns to Santo Domingo to face her father, Senator Augustin Cabral. When she was only 14, he sent her to the tyrannical dictator Leonidas Trujillo to gain favour, knowing she would be raped and abused. A 30-year rule of fear is due to end with a conspiracy. |
| Synopsis: |
Urania Cabral, a New York lawyer, returns to the Dominican Republic after a lifelong self-imposed exile. Urania's own story alternates with the powerful climax of dictator Rafael Trujillo's reign. In 1961, Trujillo's decadent inner circle - which includes Urania's soon-to-be disgraced father - enjoys the luxuries of privilege while the rest of the nation lives in fear and deprivation. But after the murder of its hated dictator is carried out, the Dominican Republic is plunged into the nightmare of a bloody and uncertain aftermath. Now, thirty years later, Urania reveals how her own family was fatally wounded by the forces of history. |
