In a picturesque yet perilous mountain town in Colombia, we view the world through the innocent eyes of Manuel, a nine-year-old on the threshold of his teenage years. The narrative is set against the backdrop of a tight-knit rural community, where childhood joy faces the looming threat of war.

As she hands out paper booklets and calls the roll, Manuel, distracted by his artistic impulses, is more inclined to draw than pay attention to his math lessons.
