Summary Two sisters return to the small parish of Tierra in Galicia after a long absence, to the former home of their grandfather, from which they fled when they were just children. At Tierra, nothing and everything has changed: the people, the distant little house in the rain, the acrid smell of gorse, the flowers, the crops, the customs. Yet the return of the sisters disrupts the placid existence of the villagers, stirring up memories best left alone. When news arrives that the famous American actress Ava Gardner will be shooting a movie in Spain and that lookalikes are wanted, the sisters have a chance to make their dreams come true. But the past is catching up with the present, and the family secrets that led to the The Winterlings' return will not stay buried for long.
