Portraits of the Wind Janix Pacle

"Portraits of the Wind" is a captivating slice-of-life about frustration, grief, and happiness. Before their paths converged, Xavi and Luma are two remarkably different people from two distinct countries. Xavi is a washed-out photographer who actively seeks nostalgia to heal his ailing soul. Even if it is barely working and makes him more miserable, he still chooses to do it out of the fear of forgetting the past. Meanwhile, on the other end of the spectrum, Luma is a cyclist who is on the way to become a World-Pro, but life's arbitrary injustice had other plans for her. Will it be better for her? She couldn't tell since every breath she draws in is now seething with anger. When these two inevitably meet at the hands of serendipity in another unsuspecting country, their lives are rattled deeper as they face their beasts of despair together towards a journey of friendship or maybe more. But will two miserable people actually find joy between them?
