After the death of a distant uncle that he did not even have the pleasure to meet, Gerardo inherited one of his properties, a large house, in the middle of a huge estate, which although somewhat neglected was worth more than he and his partner could dream of . With the terrible economic situation they lived in, they did not hesitate to sell their house to move into that huge building and restore it themselves, with the idea of selling it at the highest possible price.
The first thing they did was go through the house completely to know how much work they would have, at least there was not much to get out, the lack of furniture was evident. But to his surprise the cellar, which was twice the size of the house, was full of barrels, and bottles of liquor, which they tasted with pleasure.
There were so many drinks that night, they fell asleep right there, and they woke up in the middle of the night, because the lights in the whole house went off and on, as if there was a great short film.
After several days they worked on the restoration, they had a big party with all their friends and some other people interested in buying the property, they served the wine from the barrels, that night they finished more than six, and when the meeting ended they were very happy for the offers received, when one of the waiters tells them that they have not yet been able to take out the barrels because they are very heavy, that they needed a hand, so a couple of friends who were still in the house accompanied Gerardo to the basement, they took together the barrel, but it fell, and when they broke, they saw with horror that what was inside was the body of a young girl, they broke the other empty barrels, and found more dead people in them.
They were all in the same position, curled up like a baby in the womb and under the barrels there were dates, which were marked from 1500 to 2000.
Legend has it that by searching his uncle's belongings they found a diary, in which they discovered that he had lived more than 500 years thanks to that Agua de Vida that he himself prepared, that there was enough for a complete family to have the same destiny as he, so Gerardo reunited all those who witnessed the contents of the barrels that night, offered them immortality in exchange for his silence and all accepted, now heal all their ills, drinking someone else's life...
