Alice confronts the typical dilemmas of pre-adolescent transition in an adventure between the real world and the magical universe. Joined by her friends Edu and Jana, they summon Uirá, the bird boy, to together restore the powers of the Jaguar.

Alice navigates the dilemmas of early adolescence in an adventure that blurs the boundaries between reality and the magical realm. Joined by her friends Edu and Jana, they summon Uirá, the bird boy, to return the Jaguar’s powers—accidentally trapped within Alice’s body. Their journey pits them against eco-villains, supernatural forces, and their own inner conflicts. The film serves as a bridge, connecting Madrid—Alice’s hometown and the stage for her track competition—to the Triple Frontier, where Brazil, Paraguay, and Argentina converge. Home to the awe-inspiring Iguazu Falls, this region’s vibrant ethnocultural heritage both shapes and elevates the narrative. Rooted in Indigenous legends, the film weaves contemporary themes of environmental preservation and climate change with universal questions of friendship, responsibility, and coming of age. Echoing Stranger Things and Locke & Key, it follows the group’s evolution—and the profound impact of their choices on the world around them.
