In Estella-Lizarra, 1328, after the death without descendants of Carlos I el Calvo, king of France and Navarre, the interregnum situation is used by the Navarrese to claim their own king. The destruction of the Jewish quarter of Estella, the clashes with the Alava lineages, the drought, hunger and the black plague are the scenarios of this narration. Two families, the Ogaiz, farmers, and the Bertolín, merchants, live facing each other because of tradition, ambition, revenge, hardships, love and hate. The evolution of the protagonists reveals a distant era, although feelings and behaviors can be transferred to our time.
