He grew out of his father’s myths and found the magic in his own story
Jaime is a 14-year-old skeptical young man who dreams of leaving Punta Chucao to become a poet. One day, he discovers that everything he knows about his father is a lie. Together with Violeta, he embarks on a journey through the archipelago to find out the truth, and it is there that the line between myth and reality starts to blur.
