L’autor fa parlar la tradició oral i la història amagada sota les pedres, els vells papers i les corrandes, els romanços populars i la màgia de les llegendes per tal que la modernitat urbana i la transformació al galop de la vella societat rural no s’acabi d’endur la riquesa de l’excepcional patrimoni lingüístic i cultural que suposa el motarrot, llegat que ens arriba com una rica herència de l’antigor. En coedició amb l'Ajuntament de Bellpuig.
