Piano teacher Cecilia and her forestry worker husband Diego have been living in a small town in Patagonia for a year. When they learn that their adoption request has been approved, Cecilia is overjoyed, even though nine-year-old Joel is slightly older than the child she intended to adopt. Joel is a round-faced, disheveled, taciturn child with a provocative attitude, who had previously lived with his now-incarcerated uncle. 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 after joining. Other parents even occasionally express concerns that Joel might have a negative influence on the other students. As a result, the family must make a choice: to accept Joel and his violent past or to embrace the prejudices of other parents towards this little "outsider"?
