7 Virgins

Dog days in Seville. The suburbs are at the boiling point. All Tano wants to do is enjoy his freedom. With the boys from the hood, his best buddy and his girlfriend he prowls the streets and the clubs, for two days and two nights. What should he do when his homies spin out of control? Tano's boisterous lust for life carries him like wings through every situation, until he finds himself staring at the abyss. The title refers to the superstitious belief that one can see into the future by holding a candle to a mirror and staring at it for 60 seconds. In Andalucia, this custom is called “the seven virgins”.
