Description

Set in a modest village of Castilla, the drama unfolds in the cramped drawing‑room of a prosperous farming family. A chorus of women—Raimunda, Acacia, Doña Isabel, Milagros and others—gather to exchange prayers, gossip, and uneasy goodbyes as the day’s wedding approaches. Their lively banter reveals a tight‑knit community where duty, superstition and personal longing intertwine.

Amid the festive chatter, a strained mother‑daughter bond surfaces, hinting at secrets that have long simmered beneath the surface. Raimunda’s distrust of the upcoming union and the whispered rumors about a forbidden affection for her cousin Norberto create a tension that threatens to spill over into the celebration. Listeners are drawn into the everyday struggles of love, honor, and survival in a world where a single marriage can reshape several lives.
