Description
Candelaria is twelve years old and lives with her eccentric family in Parruca, a mythical place lost in the mountains. Her mother talks to the stones, her stepbrother grows hallucinogenic mushrooms, and her father, an artist who sculpts whales, has abandoned them. While the vegetation devours the house, they receive strange characters: a woman expert in poisonous plants with more than one dead person in tow, a man who fears lightning, a hopeless person who pursues his own death and leaves behind an enigmatic manuscript. Candelaria will try to be accompanied in her search for her father, and this process will reveal the true complexity of life and the vulnerable nature of human beings.
