Sanmao, the desert bride

The story of the Chinese writer Sanmao brings us closer to the life of a woman who built a powerful literary world that opened the doors of her country to an exotic and distant imaginary. Her public figure became an icon of modernity that would be helped by the evolution of her own story that was marked by tragedy and mystery, still unrevealed today.

Synopsis: In the 70s, the Chinese writer and traveler San Mao lived an exciting love story with the Spanish diver José María Quero. They traveled to the Spanish Sahara where San Mao captured their daily experiences in the book Tales from the Sahara, whose publication in Taiwan and later in China catapulted her to fame. Sanmao became an icon of an independent woman and the protagonist of a life with shades of legend in which love, adventure, literature and tragedy are mixed.
