El Gaspar is one more of the many immigrants who have left their families and roots behind to try their luck in another country. The course of his life changes several times when he decides to settle in a small town in the north of Costa Rica. Capable of developing a special love for nature and for the animals that he finds there, his social abilities are hampered by his impulsiveness and the lack of perspective regarding his place, and that of others, in the world. Happiness knocks on his door, personified by Anita, a jovial and cheerful mulatto who introduces him to worlds unknown to him. However, the opportunity for a dignified and complete life can be wasted if the young person is confined to his limitations and pays more attention to his instincts than to the voice of his reason.
