An epic romance of love, heroism and hope, set against the backdrop of one of the most defining eras in American history, the Great Depression. Texas, 1934 Millions of people are out of work, the Great Plains are hit by years of drought. Farmers struggle to save what's left of their crops, the water is almost dry, the dust threatens to swallow them all. Regular dust storms have turned a recently fertile region into a desert. During this terrible time, the Martinelli family, like their farmer neighbors, must make a painful choice: stay on the land they love or head west to California in search of a better life. Elsa, a courageous woman, to whom life did not show much favor from a young age, worries, first of all, for her two children, who have already forgotten what rain is, what it is like to eat your fill and what decent clothes look like. They no longer live, but survive, and the moment has come when Elsa has no choice: if she wants to save the children, she must decide to leave her home, go to the unknown, hoping that they will find prosperity there. The Four Winds is an indelible portrait of America and the American dream, seen through the eyes of an indomitable woman whose courage and sacrifice will define a generation.
