The plot revolves around eight-year-old Julio who is left alone after
his mother's death.  She had promised to find an angel to protect him in
her absence.  "The movie is about promises, loyalty and its
consequences. [.]  This is a very enjoyable story that will make you
laugh, feel sad and touch you with it's simple, yet powerful message. If

places you may have visited."-Rico, amazon.com review
