Juanquini was a dreadful magician, a source of constant embarrassment to his children. Yet, when he executed a feat of truly astonishing skill, disbelief met him at every turn – a sentiment shared by everyone, even the police.

Juanquini maintains his innocence, repeatedly asserting his ignorance to the authorities. Yet, the police persist in their efforts to extract a confession. Concurrently, his family secures legal counsel for him.

The arrival of the U.S. federal agent to bring Juanquini back to face charges sets in motion a series of difficult choices for the local authorities and for his family.

As Juanquini strives to reunite with his family, a series of fortunate events unfold. Meanwhile, Agent Patty Smith seeks the counsel of magicians, hoping to unravel the mystery of the disappearance.

Juanquini unexpectedly finds himself sharing a home with Ñato and his family, a household anchored by a woman of considerable spirit. At the same time, his own family faces renewed hardship.

Despite the efforts of Agent Smith and the local authorities, the case remains stubbornly unresolved. However, Ñato’s lawyer has determined that Juanquini speaks truthfully – and harbors a desire to see him dead.

Could it be that the police, in their pursuit, have fixated on the unfortunate Juanquini, while the true manipulator remained unseen, working openly before them?
