Argentina/Colombia
Julián (6), Malena (8) and Samuel (12) are three siblings who have lived in an orphanage for years. When Lautaro (45), a single man, offers himself for adoption, they begin a bonding process to get to know each other better and decide whether or not they want to go ahead with the adoption. During this time, they need to find a way to convert their fantasies of an ideal family into an imperfect but real one.
