Spoilers ahead

An armed conflict drives Alma and Pedro Madrigal to flee their Colombia village with their infant triplets, Julieta, Pepa, and Bruno Ezequiel Tronconi. Pedro is killed, but the candle Alma carries unleashes a protective power that creates Casita, a sentient house perched in a magical realm bordered by mountains.

Forty years pass, and a new village thrives under the candle’s protection. The magic grants “gifts” and corresponding bedrooms to each Madrigal descendant when they turn five, which they use to serve the villagers. Julieta’s youngest daughter, Mirabel, is the only Madrigal without a gift, while Bruno’s gift of precognition has led to him being vilified and scapegoated, resulting in his disappearance.
