En esta historia conmovedora, una niña describe cómo es ser migrante, mientras ella y su padre viajan hacia el norte, la frontera con Estados Unidos. Viajan principalmente en el techo de un tren conocido como La Bestia, pero la niña no sabe a dónde van. Cuenta los animales por el camino, las nubes en el cielo, las estrellas. A veces ella ve soldados. Ella duerme, soñando que siempre está en movimiento, aunque a veces se ven obligados a detenerse y su padre tiene que ganar más dinero antes de poder continuar su viaje.
