Historia de Simón el Carmelita
A los doce años, una niña de Toluca presencia durante una violenta tormenta la aparición de un misterioso hombre que camina sin pies. Esa misma noche, comienza a escribir palabras que no comprende, revelando la historia de Simón el Carmelita, un alma olvidada que busca justicia, sepultura y descanso.
Décadas después, aquel recuerdo permanece intacto. Porque hay historias que se niegan a desaparecer hasta que finalmente son contadas.
