Synopsis: Iker (17) is a young man who lives with his parents in a small village in the middle of the Alava mountains. Every year, they rent a house in that same village to couples or families. Enzo (17) belongs to one of those families, and he gets along well with Iker. It’s not until the day they leave that Iker decides to take Enzo to some natural pools in the next village. There, Iker’s desire for Enzo awakens, and, moved by one of his gestures, he decides to turn their last afternoon together into an adventure through the forest. Iker will take Enzo on a journey through the history and mythology of the place where he lives while telling him a legend about Lamia, a mythological creature who, after a misfortune, created the river in which they were bathing that very afternoon.
Parallel to this, Iker will see how time with Enzo slips through his fingers, unable to declare his love for him or knowing if he will ever see him again, hoping that, once the sun sets and they are at the top of the mountain, all the truths, both the legend and those that haunt their minds, will come to light.
