Lucía was a tall, thin girl, and her hair was straight and long,
tied with a headband. When she got angry, she pulled the headband, and
her hair covered her face.

This is the story of Lucía, a very special girl who covers her face with her beautiful long black hair when she gets angry. One day, when Lucía is very upset, she decides to hide behind her hair, as usual. However, this time she can't find her way out. Trying to escape from those multiple and tangled strands of hair, she sees a light and walks towards it.
Then, a journey full of surprises begins in which she meets a very particular character. At first, he seems scary, but after facing him he becomes a friend who will help her find her way home.... And, incidentally, to find other things too, because Lucía always loses everything!
A deep story full of emotions and symbolisms, which shows us that sometimes the worst monsters can be inside us, but not be as bad as we think.
