María Margarita is the youngest of four siblings in a family living in a mining town in the Atacama Desert (Chile). The most special time of the week is Sunday, when they all go to the cinema to enjoy the stories that take them to other worlds. The girl’s parents soon realise that the little girl has a very special gift, an almost uncanny ability to tell films. The girl’s extraordinary talent will spread throughout the village, changing the fortunes of her family as the country is transformed forever.
