Set in the Pallars region, it follows the life of Conxa, a country girl who at thirteen leaves her village to work in an aunt's house. There she meets Jaume and, after marrying, her existence becomes tied to the land, the family, and the social changes that Catalonia undergoes throughout the twentieth century.
