From a forgotten Numancia . After 20 years of intermittent wars between the Numantine people and the Roman army, the siege and embargo, under the command of Scipio, finally put an end to the Numantine people. A year after the construction of the siege, Atta hides in the cellar of her Celtiberian house, with a son of only five months, who dies and is buried at the foot of the hearth. A child killed by the kidnapping suffered by the Numantines. A people in agony due to the cruel kidnapping suffered by the Numantines. Atta fears that, in these last moments of her life, the Romans will strip her of the only thing she has left: the dignity of not being enslaved by the powerful. A brave and daring woman, who could not break the moral and social norms in a hard time. Perhaps a warrior only in her interior, but capable of imposing her own destiny. A harsh story that gives meaning to the thousands of lives that remain held hostage in a Numancia that is increasingly besieged and forgotten. They die of starvation and boredom. The isolation of a people abandoned to their fate by the great elephant that this time failed to defeat the oppressor. Numancia continues to resist. The people of Numancia continue to resist in this and many other Numancias; astonished, violated, furious and perplexed by such domination, which prevents them from preserving the splendor of a land once beautiful, rich and longed for.
