Las Diez mil Cosas

Synopsis "Las Diez mil Cosas"
During the first half of the twentieth century, on an island in the Moluccas archipelago, only a few of the ancient spice gardens remain. One of these is home to Felicia, “the young lady of the small garden,” the last descendant of a Dutch family that owned nutmeg plantations. All of her family passed away a long time ago, and although it seems she has nothing left, Felicia lives surrounded by the presence of a multitude of things: her home, the forest, the sea, the scents of the island, her memories, and fantasy. Myths and real-life stories that end tragically intersect in a place where grief and pain can’t seem to alter the natural balance of life, and where the past is as powerful as the present. En la primera mitad del siglo XX, en una isla del archipiélago de las Molucas, se conservan ya pocos de los antiguos jardines de especias. En uno de ellos vive Felicia, “la dama del pequeño jardín,” última descendiente de una familia holandesa propietaria de plantaciones de nuez moscada. Toda su familia ha muerto hace ya tiempo, y aunque en apariencia no le queda nada, Felicia vive rodeada por la presencia de un sinfín de cosas: su casa, el bosque, el mar, los aromas de la isla, sus recuerdos y fantasía. Leyendas e historias reales que terminan trágicamente se entrecruzan en un lugar donde la pena y el dolor no logran alterar el equilibrio natural de la existencia, y donde el pasado tiene tanta fuerza como el presente.
