'Bajo el mismo sol' by Ulises Porra tells a story of survival, betrayal and broken dreams against a backdrop of great historical tension. In 1819, Lázaro, heir to a bold Spanish merchant, sets out to fulfil his father's dream of founding a silk factory in the heart of La Española. By his side are Mei, a Chinese silk expert, and Baptiste, a Haitian deserter. What begins as a promising alliance is soon threatened by ambition and betrayal, as silk becomes a symbol of desire, power and loss.
