In the 1930s, in an isolated valley of the Pyrenees Mountains, an aging teacher
reconstructs a bloody and tragic event that seemed destined to remain forever
hidden behind a wall of silence. He alone can penetrate appearances and grasp
the iron laws determining the lives of all those who live in this place-this
valley where nature is miserly and leaves little room for poetic contemplation
or an excess of feelings. He alone remembers his protégé, Ramón, a shepherd,
who, no more than a child, fell in love with Alba, the only daughter of the
region's most powerful and influential landowner. The rich and powerful conspire
to thwart the love between Ramón and Alba, and in doing so they incite a feud
that will extend beyond all reason. Thus begins a vigorous, dramatic story of
rebellion and a heroic quest for freedom.
