Stories about how Magda´s father seems to have the same roots as the ancient olive trees from his native region. About how the inhabitants and the trees of this region were left behind without a voice and about how Magda’s roots have been pulling her since she left her birthplace.

We´ll go south, our place
Which is always there
Which never ends
The earth finishes
The sea begins
This is enough for us
