£18.00
Though a successful and highly respected physician in his humble rural
community, Dr. Alberto Robles, still battles with anguish over not
fulfilling any of the personal dreams he'd had before medical school and
beginning his practice. Also, his idealistic and enterprising attitudes
concerning medicine earned him some enemies. Along with this, there is a
long going battle with local Chief, David Acosta, over unfair dealings
with landowners.
When a peasant woman named Soledad goes to him seeking help for her
brother, Dr. Robles, is hesitant at first but relents and ends up saving
the boy. At some point, Dr. Robles falls in love with Soledad, who out
of gratitude has offered to help in his office.
Ultimately, the ongoing battle, riddled with all the tensions,
prejudices, and the feuds over land in the impoverished rural community,
leads to tragedy.
