María is a 13-year-old girl who has a hard time at school and also at home, where the conflicts between her parents affect her on a daily and direct basis. She is a great drawer, but she is not very good at mathematics. She also doesn’t fit in with the popular, party girls, so her place in her world is still unclear. But then she meets another Maria, “the monster’s mother.” A Mary who lived in the 19th century and who forever changed the horror stories we read. Identified with her namesake, Maria will reconcile with her own monster to forge a memorable path and place for herself.
