When the treating doctor said goodbye to Carín, he matter-of-factly informed her that she should not expect to have children again.

Thus began the silence between the couple, and between them lingered the scent of a thousand rose petals until death. Five magical tales from northern Brazil. Completely different people, all with extraordinary lives.
