Maximiliano Garcia

His mother has left and Gonzalo doesn't know why. How he is taking care of his little infant sister all alone, though he himself is barely ten years old. Neighbours help and try to figure out what should be done with the two children. Like old Felipe with his pub, the veterinarian Julio and his wife, or kind Lorena, who's stranded in the town. And gradually Gonzalo finds out what is really going on.

Juana is part of a very special family; they have the gift of transforming into animals, but she doesn't know it. Which he will discover the day his mother transforms into a parrot, having three days to recover her human form or, otherwise, she will remain a parrot forever.

In the heat and haze of a Van Nuys summer, two teenage boys discover an unexpected connection.
