Overview
El destino de tres mujeres unido por un hilo rojo de cachemir, desde Mongolia y China hasta Italia. Un viaje peligroso animado por los sueños y la ilusión.
En el caleidoscopio de colores del mercado de Ordos, en China, hay uno que destaca por encima de todos. Es el rojo brillante y puro de un jersey de cachemir. Bolormaa lo ha tejido con la última lana de su rebaño, antes de que el verano excesivamente caluroso y el invierno excepcionalmente duro lo exterminaran y obligaran a su familia a abandonar la vida nómada en las montañas.
Muy a su pesar, Bolormaa le vende el jersey a Alessandra, una mujer italiana que le paga una pequeña fortuna por él y le deja su tarjeta de visita junto con la promesa de un trabajo en Italia. Es un encuentro fugaz, pero su recuerdo permanece grabado en la mente de Bolormaa y alimenta el sueño de una vida mejor.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
A thread of red cashmere links the fates of three women, from China and Mongolia to Italy, leading to a perilous journey fueled by dreams and desperation.
In the kaleidoscope of colors that is China’s Ordos market, one shade stands out: the bright red of a cashmere sweater. Bolormaa wove it from the last of her wool before an exceptionally hot summer and frigid winter killed off her flock, forcing her and her family to abandon their nomadic life in the mountains.
Reluctantly, she sells the sweater to Alessandra, an Italian visitor who pays a small fortune for it and leaves her card, along with a promise of work in Italy. That brief encounter takes on enormous significance for Bolormaa and drives her search for a better life.
