Mexico in the '90s. Seven-year-old Alex and his little siblings are left in the care of their senile Aunt Lola while their mother works as a host on a radio station.

Alex misses his mother and, with his siblings, listens to his mother’s show every night, building strange imaginary worlds through the stories they hear, the news, the radio soap operas, and the religious influence of his great-aunt.
