The story begins when Jaume Vadell takes over the estate of an aristocrat in northern Mallorca, and follows the Vadell family over several generations. Violence, religious fanaticism and decadence mark their path towards disappearance in a rugged rural landscape, far from the island's tourist stereotype.
