Las cenizas

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 for this family is Sunday, when they all go to the movies to enjoy stories that let them escape their everyday lives by transporting them to other worlds. The girl’s parents soon realise that the little girl has a very special gift: an almost uncanny ability to recount movies. The girl’s extraordinary talent will spread throughout the village, changing the fortunes of her family as the country is transformed forever.

Juan lives in Antofagasta, a small city between desert and sea from the north of Chile, but he dreams with big cities. When an opportunity of studying in New York appears.He doesn't hesitate and travels there. However, when his mother Magdalena starts having serious health problems back in Antofagasta, Juan's life in New York will stop being the perfect one.
