Description

Nayeli es una chica de diecinueve anos que trabaja en una taqueria de tres Camarones, un poblado mexicano. Ve en suenos a su padre, que emigro al norte cuando era nina. Recientemente se ha dado cuenta de que su padre no es el unico hombre que se ha ido del pueblo, de hecho ya casi no quedan hombres, todos se han ido al otro lado, a los Estados Unidos. Un grupo de narcotraficantes tambien se ha percatado de ese hecho y ven la oportunidad para apoderarse. Pero una noche, durante la exhibicion de la pelicula Los Siete Magnificos, Nayeli tiene una revelacion: Debe dirigirse al norte a reclutar sus propios Siete Magnificos, para que la protejan de los criminales y coadyuven a repoblar Tres Camarones. Ella y sus amigas viajan al norte y en el camino hacia esa extrana y fascinante tierra de sus suenos, ese mitico lugar donde su padre desaparecio, van sumando una coleccion de inusitados y sorprendentes aliados. La meta es un poblado del estado de Illinois, donde Nayeli espera encontrar a su padre y reclutar a sus guerreros. Con suerte, hara realidad tambien su destino.
