Sebastian is seventeen years old, but he is not like his peers. He has no friends or acquaintances, and he hardly goes outside - all because of his father, who limited his life to the walls of their apartment. And only late at night can Sebastian sneak out into the street to have at least a little fun. For example, take a ride on the subway. There he meets a girl...Maria is twenty-three, she has two children and a husband prone to violence. Maria is deathly afraid that her husband will find out that she was fired, and instead of working, she rides the subway. These two have no choice but to run away from their hateful life, which is more like a prison sentence. But escaping from prison is a risk, and not only their dreams are at stake, but their lives. And yet they are willing to take risks. Windmills of Hope is a charming and intense story of pain, love and the desperate pursuit of a dream.
