With that phrase of mythical resonances, this intense love story unfolds amidst the harshness of forced displacement. An enigmatic character called Siete por Tres arrives at a pilgrim hostel asking for a woman he lost in the turmoil of war. There he is attended by a foreign volunteer, whose interest in the man grows beyond simple solidarity. In the narrow triangle that is created, the anxiety of finding the other merges with the search for the promised land. And for love: the impossible and, why not, also the possible. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eENGLISH DESCRIPTION\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\"How can I tell him that he will never find her, after he has been searching for her all his life?
