The story begins in the countryside, in almost total darkness, surrounded by an area of cold, rough walls reminiscent of a cave. Fire, land and sea. It is primitive and atavistic, the soul of a country of powerful creative force. A flint stone brought specially from the Sierra de Atapuerca (cradle of the first Europeans) will represent the origin. Amid the roar of a ball of fire and a storm that represents that time immemorial, a forest of bones and forms a woman comes, a dancer who climb on a platform playing with those bones to boot a celebratory dance, one flamenco choreography cut will eventually teñida color red.
