看不见的孩子 (2001)

A magic adventure for children and adults. Because magic and enchantment do not have age. Rafael is a seven year old child madly in love with Martha Cecilia. He wants to see her up close without being noticed by her and takes off into the adventure of becoming invisible. Holding a scapular of the Virgin of Carmen, he followed the instructions of a brochure of magic to put his temerity to the test. After a few trials on the streets of the small town, he discovers that he indeed is invisible to people, but specially to Martha Cecilia. That's how the beautiful story begins in a small town in the '50s.
