Set in present-day Asturias and Cantabria and based on real events, 'La voz de Lug' narrates the confrontation between the native tribes and the Roman army. A conflict that lasted for 16 years and is known only through information disseminated by Roman sources—the version of the victors—as the Astures and Cantabri left no testimony of their own. It is 25 BC, and the troops of Emperor Caesar Augustus are preparing to definitively subdue the Asturian and Cantabrian tribes, the last unconquered stronghold on the Iberian Peninsula. This is the story of the struggle between the Roman legate Publio Carisio and Luam, leader of the Cilurnigos of Noega, as well as his companion Lenore, the great Cantabrian chief Corocotta, the merchant Dacio, and the Greek slave Homero. Their lives are caught in the twists of fate as they struggle to survive in a hostile world. It is also the story of a courageous people, as hard as the rocks of their mountains and as fierce as the sea that lashes their coasts, who fought to the end to maintain their freedom, customs, and beliefs against an invader whose strength was far superior to their own.
