The Mystery of the Trinidad

Running time: N/A

Hemingway wrote that September was "the month when the great fish come. Anyone can be a fisherman in May." Juan faces similar tests of his choices in life in Jose Luis Garc'a Agrazas haunting The Mystery of the Trinidad. Already in a funk as an unsatisfied physician, Juan is forced to come to terms with the double life of his recently deceased father - an undersea treasure hunter who had two families, one of which Juan was never allowed to contact. After inheriting his father's ship - much to the dissatisfaction of his father's other family - Juan tries to sell it, but soon finds that fate is leading him to take up the search where his father left off; a search for the sunken galleon Santisimo Trinidad...which soon becomes the search for knowledge about his family and himself. Reconnecting the pieces of a life fragmented by unjust secrets and lost explorations, Juan must find the balance between the love he wants and the passion he needs most without giving away one to find the other. - John Ignowski
