Inspired by Mexican culture, this unique fairy tale follows a young lady as she embarks on a terrifying and transformative trip with the help of the Mayan god of death.
While the Jazz Age is raging, Casiopea Tun is too preoccupied to listen to rapid music since she is too busy scrubbing her affluent grandfather's home's floors. She yet longs to live somewhere else than her little, dusty hamlet in southern Mexico. a life that she really belongs to.
However, until the day she discovers an intriguing wooden box in her grandfather's chamber, this new existence appears as far away as the stars. When she opens it, by mistake, she releases the spirit of the Mayan deity of death, who asks for her assistance in regaining his kingdom from his disloyal brother. If Casiopea fails, she will die, but if she succeeds, her aspirations could come true.
Equipped with her cunning and the companionship of an oddly seductive deity, Casiopea sets out on an epic journey that will take her into the Yucatán forests, dazzling lights of Mexico City, and deep into the Mayan underworld.
