Summary:

Candelaria is twelve years old and lives with her eccentric family in Parruca, a mythical place lost in the mountains. Her mother talks to stones, her stepbrother grows hallucinogenic mushrooms and her father, an artist who sculpts whales, has abandoned them. While the vegetation begins to devour the house, the three of them are visited by strange characters: a woman who's an expert in poisonous plants who carries more than one dead person on her back, a man who fears lightning and shoots at the clouds that threaten a storm, a homeless man pursues his own death and leaves behind an enigmatic manuscript .. Candelaria will try to make them accompany her search for her father, and this process will reveal the true complexity of life and will make her understand that, beneath appearances, every human being is vulnerable and weak at times
