Cancer-stricken Gabriel returns to his grandparents’ hometown to spend his final days. He arrives just as the town prepares for its annual religious celebration. He is in no mood to make friends; he prefers to face death alone. His demeanor changes when he meets Gladys who the townsfolk believe has the power to cure any disease.
V. Checa’s feature debut takes place in a dystopian Peruvian city that could very well be Lima and where 12-year-old Teo helps his father work on a machine that can actually make rain in a place that has never seen it. To help his father find the parts that he needs, Teo becomes involved with a gang of young spies with whom he embarks on a series of adventures which will make him question his father’s obsession.
