Claudia and Andres are two youngsters who live in a grand mansion. Their evil aunt Aurora Sombria, a bitter and cruel woman, derives pleasure from abusing them and keeping them separated from their real mother. For the slightest disobedience they are locked in the cellar: dark, dusty, and full of spiders and mice. In despair in the dark of the prison, the two imagine a grandmother Chonita who comforts and advises them. The children finally escape their aunt's clutches and embark on a trip to find their real mother, determined to find her. Puppet-showman Morrongo helps them, and they believe he is the archangel Gabriel fallen from the sky.—Anonymous
