Summary

Barcelona, 1387. The bells of the church of Santa María de la Mar continue to ring for all the inhabitants of the Ribera neighborhood, but one of them hears their ringing with special attention... Hugo Llor, son of a deceased sailor, at the age of twelve works in the shipyards thanks to the generosity of one of the most appreciated promen of the city: Arnau Estanyol.But his youthful dreams of becoming a shipbuilder will come crashing into a harsh and ruthless reality when the Puig family, a bitter enemy of his mentor, takes advantage of their position before the new king to execute a revenge that he had been caressing for years.From that moment on, Hugo's life oscillates between his loyalty to Bernat, Arnau's friend and only son, and the need to survive in a city unjust to the poor.Forced to leave the Ribera neighborhood, he looks for work with Mahir, a Jew who teaches him the secrets of the world of wine. With him, among vineyards, vats and stills, the boy discovers the passion for the land while meeting Dolça, the beautiful niece of the Jew, who will become his first love. But this feeling, forbidden by customs and religion, will be the one that will provide him with the sweetest and most bitter moments of his youth.
