Manuela Saenz
The story of a Peruvian fishing village in 1856, where only oblivion and  poverty are to be found. A whaling boat is docked in the rusty port of Paita, and among  the crew is Herman Melville, a young sailor hatching up an idea for a story about a whale  named Moby Dick. . .   In the small village lives a woman named Manuela Saenz, who 30 years earlier shocked  the continent by having a passionate love affair with Simon Bolivar, the great Latin  American hero who led the great revolution in the first half of the 19th century.
