«Who among us has not, at least once, selfishly dreamed of leaving all business, habits, acquaintances, even friends, on one fine day, and settling down on some enchanting island, free from any worries or obligations, and -- above all -- without newspapers?»
With these hopes, George Sand leaves Paris with her children and lover Frédéric Chopin. Winter awaits on the island of Majorca.
«Winter in Majorca» is a moving and piquant story of a vacation between two lovers, which is nevertheless overshadowed by countless setbacks. The setting offers recognition from romantic novels: high blue mountains, deep valleys, orange groves and monastery ruins. But also inhospitable and indifferent locals, unpredictable forces of nature, the lack of even the most basic amenities. There are so many faces to this enchanting island, where everything seems picturesque at first glance, starting from a peasant's hut to a ragged bouncer; on an island where everything, including the stunted cactus on the roadside, seems at first to be pleasing to the eye.
