María García, born at the beginning of the last century in a remote village in the Asturian mountains, is forced to flee her home abruptly—alone and still a child—when war breaks out in 1936. Although it seems she has nothing but her hands to rely on, she soon discovers a remarkable talent that will take her across half the world.
