“Was it a dream or a story you heard, or did it really happen?”
“It happened, teacher, it really happened.”
Tomás is a different and dreamy child, but what does his head have that the others don't? His teacher will try to understand him and will witness his fascinating stories where extraordinary beings coexist. A fun story that builds bridges between reality and fantasy, between personal diversity and inclusion.
