A story of love contains all the secrets of the world. Pilar and his companion have known each other in childhood, far away during their adolescence, and here they find themselves eleven years later. She, a woman to whom life has learned to be strong and not to be overwhelmed by her feelings. He, a man who has the gift to heal others and seeks in religion a solution to his inner conflicts. Both are united by the desire to change and to pursue their dreams. To achieve this, they will have to overcome many obstacles: the fear of giving oneself, the feeling of fault, prejudices. Pilar and his companion then decide to go to a small village in the Pyrenees, to discover their own truth. If he relates with poetry, and very modern dialogues, a romantic encounter, Paulo Coelho also plunges us into the mysteries of the divinity. For, he recalls, "the spiritual experience is above all a practical experience of love".
