Vientos de agua

This miniseries is epically profound! Ostensibly about immigrants to, and from, Argentina (which makes this move a must-see for anyone interested in, or planning to visit, Argentina), but in fact it is one of the most insightful looks into the drama of the human condition.

I am 60 years old, and lived an adventurous life. It takes a lot to impress me... yet this series affected me profoundly! I can honestly say that watching this series was far more productive and meaningful than months of therapy. It quite literally changed my life! This is a very unknown series because it was aired on Public TV (Instituto Nacional de Cine y Artes Audiovisuales), and they kept changing the times and put it on at very odd times, and never reran it. Even in Argentina is is barely known of.

Juan Campanella is best known (internationally) for directing "El secreto de sus ojos" (2009), for which he won Best Foreign Film. It was a brilliant film, but this, IMHO, surpasses that movie! Especially in light of the fact that Campanella was also the creator and writer (p.s. other directed and wrote some episodes as well, so credit to them)

What can I say about "Vientos de Agua"? It's simply the most amazing and enjoyable TV series I've ever seen. The selected cast fits very well with the story, which is very interesting and catches you from the very beginning. The art direction and the photography are really awesome. Both creates wonderful atmospheres while the tale goes by. Another interesting point view is the music, that is very powerful and contributes to feel the story. Juan José Campanella deserves my great admiration. I've seen all his previous movies and arrived to a conclusion: he is the only one that can touch my heart with his nice and peculiar way of telling moving tales.

This series is great!!! I love it! it's highly recommended. Don't judge it for its first episode, if you see at least 3 and you don't like thats OK, but don't don't judge for the first one 'cos it kinda boring, but then it gets better and better, and you want to keep watching and you think "why there are only 13 episodeees?!?! Please Campanella!! make more!!!" There is a parallelism of a Spaniard that had to emigrate to Argentina because of the war, and on 2001 his son has to emigrate to Spain because of financial issues, what it is cool about this show is that this two stories are shown simultaneously, the inside stories are very good too. Just Great

This is probably one of the best series I have ever watched. It is deep, human, complex... it is life, with its highs and lows written and played beautifully. The main story is about immigration, but the deeper story, its about the complexities of life and love... and about the fact that nobody is 100% good or bad... . Acting is spectacular, production quality is great, dialogues are smart, passionate, deep and the story is crafted masterfully. Do not miss it. Its on Netflix.

Vientos de Agua talks about emigration, a frequently history on our diary life. Who is not happy to told, but is necessary. It represents the past, present and future of the people.

Emigration is the idea over the history, who talk about relationships (of love, father-son, between different cultures...) about politic (anarchism, totalitarism...), the change of the way of live... Vientos de Agua spokes about life, in all of it sense.

All the actors rise an excellent level, one to one, no exceptions... Well, unless Hector Alterio; he rises more than perfect, his expresions, the look, the movement, he have the humanity in his soul.

Concluding, for me, is the best series i have never seen in my life; because when a history need to be told... it is shown with all the feeling.
