Reminiscent of Kafka's Die Verwandlung, the life of a Puerto Rican family changes as they wake up one morning and find out that their oldest son and sole economic income has suffered a mutation and is transformed into a coqui.
Based on a Puerto Rican folk tale, the story begins when Mañito, an owl, is invited to a festival. Not feeling happy with the way he looks, Mañito borrows some bright colored feathers in order to attend.
