In a story that mixes fantasy and reality, this children's horror story for adults shows what a child's eyes perceive that adults are unable to see.[2]

Victor (Pedro Cruz), an 11-year-old boy, is adopted by his aunt and uncle (César Troncoso and Florencia Zabaleta) after the traumatic accident in which his parents died.
