This is a magic drama, full of Galaicas legends, emotion, and extraordinaries landscapes. In spite of being an interesting story is crammed in excessive sexual scenes and abundant nudism , for that reason is essentially a soft-core melodrama with magic elements. As are developing fantastic issues such as witches appearance, wizardly and a sorceress with big tits who are sucked by Mario Pardo. Cameos by Andres Aberasturi as a truck driver and Anabel Alonso as a singer. Colorful cinematography by Tote Trenas who reflects splendidly the Gallegos wooded outdoors.
