Irene y su pequeño hermano llegan al pueblo para cambiar los aires de la ciudad y disfrutar por unos días la compañía de su abuela, una gran narradora de cuentos que fascinan a sus nietos. Allí conocen a Martín, un niño considerado raro, al que todos esquivan y ven mal. A pesar de eso, la niña entabla una tierna e incomprendida amistad con él, que le permitirá conocer una historia marcada por el dolor que causa la ausencia definitiva de la madre, que intenta ser superado con la fantasía de creerla presente. Pero solo la comprensión de la amiga, su solidaridad y su afecto, terminarán llevándole a la aceptación de la realidad.
