A Magical

Story About

Letting Go

The old lady Doña Marta lives alone in the mountains in Colombia. Some time ago, she lost her daughter. Since then, she has wanted nothing more than to have a family again.

One day, she finds a tiny magical creature in the potato field outside her door: Epifanía. The dragon-like creature seems like a miracle to her. Doña Marta decides to keep Epifanía and raise her as her own child.

Cartoon character with large eyes, orange skin, wearing a blue sweater, against a black background.

The years pass and the two enjoy their togetherness. But Epifanía gets bigger and bigger - just like her urge to fly away. She senses that she belongs in another world and must follow her destiny. To do so, Epifanía needs the support of her foster mother.
