Synopsis
After the sudden death of her mother, little Clara, eight years old, takes refuge in her inner world, doodling endlessly strange figures and impossible creatures with her colored pencils. Her father, Julián, and her older sister, Lucía, do their best to cope with the grief while trying to reconnect as a family, but everything changes the night one of Clara's drawings mysteriously disappears from the paper.
Little by little, beings made of graphite, wax, and paper begin to manifest in the house and its surroundings, bringing with them a trail of chaos, fear, and a sparkling dust of colored pencils that covers everything. These creatures, fueled by Clara's repressed emotions and the dark energy of unresolved pain, evolve with each stroke, each scribble… and become more real, more dangerous.
Isolated by a sudden storm and with the drawings spiraling out of control, the family must confront not only these manifestations but also their own fears and open wounds. To survive, they must learn to listen to each other, forgive one another, and find a way to transform pain into something more powerful than fear: love.
A dark and emotional story that blends fantastic horror with family drama, exploring how a child's imagination can become a battlefield between loss and hope.
