The fantastical tales told by the household cook awaken the imagination of little Graciela, who brags to her friend Fabiola that she is a witch. In response to a series of coincidences, Graciela convinces her friend that she has caused them with her magic. The innocent game becomes macabre when Graciela asks Fabiola to invite her to her family’s ranch, where she will prepare a poison for the fairies.
