Plot synopsis
The central theme relates the love of two simple people who, ultimately, create a family and continue their earthly life.
In fact, it is the story of a true love and how it helps lovers to find each other beyond earthly existence and emerge victorious from various adventures.
Love can take very different forms, both platonic and unrealizable on this earth and very earthly, with a family and a large brood.
It is the contemporary look based on an old tale that allows us to have a new look at the destiny of the characters in this story taken from an old legend.
