Piano teacher Cecilia and her forestry worker husband Diego have been living in a small town in Patagonia for a year. Upon learning that their adoption request has been approved, Cecilia is overjoyed, even though nine-year-old Joel is slightly older than the child she had hoped to adopt. Joel is a round-faced, messy-haired, taciturn, and provocative boy who had lived with his uncle, who is now in prison. Due to Joel's past, Cecilia and her husband face many challenges and issues in establishing a new family for him. Not only is the process of enrolling Joel in the local school slow and painful, but he also struggles to adapt to the new environment once he starts attending school, and there are even rumors among parents that Joel might have a bad influence on his classmates. Thus, the family must make a choice: to accept Joel and his violent past or to accept the prejudices of other parents towards this little "outsider"?
