On a normal morning in a normal day for Miriam, she is arrested at her workplace and is accused, without proof, of human trafficking. The violence she suffered and was exposed to during her imprisonment has left a profound gap in her life. Adela works as a clown in a travelling circus, but ten years ago, her life was irreversibly transformed. 'Tempestad' explores the parallel journeys of Miriam and Adela and explores through their subjective and emotional journeys, the paralyzing power of fear. Fear as a sickness that prevents you from taking a stand for your own life, or for the future of your children.
