Overview
Late 1800s. The arrival of the railroad to an isolated town brings the long-awaited progress, but also Oleguer, a dark loan shark with shady dealings. When he seizes and stays at Cileta and her family's farmhouse, the young peasant will do anything possible to get her house back. Even if that means following in the dark footsteps of the money-lender.
