This Mexican melodrama may have been released above the border as After the Storm. The principal characters are a pair of twin lighthouse keepers.

When one twin is lost during a storm, the other assumes his identity, with the expected romantic complications. If Despues de la Termenta sounds familiar, it is because the screenplay was inspired by the 1946 Bette Davis vehicle A Stolen Life.
