Relatos del Famatina

Synopsis

At the foot of the Famatina range, in La Rioja, music, work on the land, memories and festivities still bind people to the place where they live. The series listens to local residents as they sing, irrigate, cook, remember and celebrate. There is no outside narrator: the story is told by the voices of the place and the landscape around them.
