We’re in the ‘60s. María Margarita is the youngest of four siblings from a family living in a mining town in the Atacama Desert (Chile). Their most special time of the week is Sunday, when they all go to the cinema to enjoy stories that transport them to other worlds. The girl’s parents soon realise that the young girl has a very special gift, an almost uncanny ability to retell films. The girl’s extraordinary talent will spread throughout the village, changing the fate of her family at the same time that the country is being transformed forever.
