In this film I want to celebrate the resilience and strength of female Latin American immigrants in Spain. Women of different backgrounds and age who traveled on their own to another continent, finding each other coincidentally along the way while renting rooms in shared apartments. My film is centered around such a temporary household of strangers. The four female characters portrayed in my film are fierce, imperfect individuals that are not always easy to live under the same roof with. I want to show that the bonds they create can be complicated and messy but are in unexpected ways also intimate, beautiful and essential. Storms Named After Women is the story of four female immigrants struggling, each in their own way, with being ‘home’ in another country. Under the harsh fluorescent lights of a wintery Madrid, they find something close to it in each other.
