Celia is an upper-middle-class, seven-year-old girl living in Madrid with her parents during the early 20th century. Celia, however, is not an ordinary child; she simply will not take adults for granted, nor will she stop questioning everything and everyone around her. With the only help of her acute sensitivity and high imagination, she will create a world of her own, a world available only to those who are willing to give it a chance.
