CANTO RODADO (STONE IN A LANDSLIDE)

Conxa is born at the beginning of the twentieth century in Ermita’s village, in Pallars region. When she’s 13 years old, she’s sent to Pallarès’s village to help her aunt Encarnació. There she meets young Jaume, with whom she falls head over heels in love in a dance of the village’s fair. Although Conxa’s aunt and uncle are against her marriage with Jaume because he’s from a poor family, they finally agree. Once they’re married, the boy helps Encarnació’s family in the fields, with whom the married couple lives. Later in life, Conxa has two daughters and a son. As they grow up, the children see her as an older sister, while the maternal authority comes from Encarnació.
