Bastián and Adela are two young people who, full of hopes and dreams, grow up in the same village. They do not know each other until one day their eyes meet and the distance between them vahishes. This is also the story of a village in Galicia. A story that portrays the lives of the local people and shows the reader a world of magic, love, loneliness, pain and happyness, mediocrity and greatness... One year in March, on their twentieth birthday, Adela and Bastián are married. Today they have three children and still live in the same village. Bastián is the son of the Old Lady of the Herbs, who lived in the woods in a hut made of stone and branches and whose only light was a lamp that she made using the heat of a fish. Adela is the daughter of Severino, a musician who supports her and his four other children by working in a band that goes from fair to fair, playing music at dances.
