Constantina and Irene have become the last guardians of a centuries-old oral tradition doomed to disappear. A musician tries to find them and undertakes a journey where life moves forward, showing the fragility of everything surrounding us. The female protagonists of this film are some of the last living bearers of the Asturian oral tradition. This tradition is made up of songs, romances and knowledge that are more than five-hundred years old and have survived through the oral memory of our ancestors. There are few things that can save us from losing our collective memory, but cinema is definitely one of them.

In the mountains of Austurias, thanks to old recordings collected by a musicologist, a number of elderly women relive their life in a rural community, revealing the value of singing. The film, masterfully shot in black and white, with moments of extraordinary lyrical force, is also a journey into the past and present lives of the protagonists, who become custodians of a unique intangible heritage to be defended and handed down.
