Ikal and his family live on a railway that travels across the country, as his father works in the repair and construction of railways, which prevents the family and the boy from settling in one place for a while. However, at the last stop, Ikal meets Chico, Valeria and Tuerto, friends who are students of Georgina, a teacher who does everything possible for her students to learn despite precarious circumstances. But, when everything seems to settle for Ikal at school, a new threat arrives, an inspector from the Ministry of Education, who has the mission of closing rural schools. With his sights set on Ikal's school, the inspector will see in the young man everything he has learned about the value of friendship, the importance of growing up and the inspiration that teachers can generate in the lives of students.[5]
