Back when only the Gypsies shed tears, there lived a beautiful woman named Vunida. She lived with her thirteen children in terrible poverty. Vunida has an encounter with the Devil, she escapes, and a curse transformes her into a cherry tree. Her children, having drawn strength from the juicy cherries, set out in search of their mother.
