    • Synopsis
    • Lucia is a yoreme girl and her biggest dream in life is to play the harp. She lost her mother and lives with her father Fidel and her grandparents.

      Fidel is an harpist. Musicians are very important because they are considered the guardians of traditions. Lucia wants to play but Fidel won´t allow it because the harp symbolizes a woman, and for them a woman can´t touch another woman. In spite of all this, the grandfather teaches her secretly.

      The mayor community celebration is near and Fidel is seriously injured. The grandfather has to go to work. The town is very worried, there is no one else who can play the harp ...
