“Dream, fly and enjoy with your whole family.”

Manuelita (Rosario Sánchez Almada) is a young turtle who climbs into a balloon for a trip and ends up lost, far from the people who know her. Manuel García Ferré sends her out among talking birds and odd companions, with Bartolito (Cecilia Gispert) and El Patriarca de los Pájaros (Enrique Conlazo) among those she meets. Through all of it she stays small and slow and stubborn, a turtle holding on to the string of a balloon.
