These are the confessions of three generations of a Galician family as they wait to bury their matriarch and the family home prepares to close its doors forever. Their stories reveal the Galician ethos and, in turn, express the universal struggle that comes with being human. Here there is room for love and death, for the strangeness of changes in a familiar place and of personal transformation in a static environment, for the fantastic legend and for the very earthly problems of enmity, betrayal and abuse. Is the universe so big that it can hide the unsaid between those who know each other best?" --
