action
Mexico at the beginning of the 20th century: one night the monks of the San Francisco Abbey find an infant in front of their gate. They call the boy Marcelino and take care of the little one with devotion. Marcelino grew up sheltered, was educated - both religious and secular - and was also allowed to play outside the monastery walls in the midst of nature. The friars give him a lot of freedom. Marcelino is a lively, interested boy who hatches pranks but now and again shows a longing for his unknown mother. What luck that he found a friend of the same age among a clan camped not far from the monastery, Eleuterio. After Eleuterio, son of a freedom fighter, is killed in a firefight, Marcelino has to play alone again. In his fantasy, however, Eleuterio still accompanies him on his forays through the hermitage and the fields.
The ongoing firefight at the gates of the monastery prompted the monks to keep Marcelino inside the monastery. Marcelino has to look for employment here. One day he bravely ignores the ban on entering the attic. Although he does not meet the ugly man there who eats naughty children, as a monk once explained to him as a deterrent, he is still startled at the sight of Jesus crucified on a discarded crucifix. He overcomes his fear and brings the emaciated man with bread and wine every day, which he steals from the kitchen. The figure then appears grateful and talkative.
Exactly on the day on which the monks discover the supernatural conversation between the boy and the wooden figure, God takes the boy to himself. Marcelino's greatest wish was to be with his mother.
