In the forgotten little town of Azul in rural Argentina, there is a magical house. No one has lived there for almost as long as anyone can remember. But once a year, at midnight, the house turns blue, and twenty-four hours later it turns white again. For twelve-year-old Cintia, the little blue house is a refuge from life with her angry father. When the house is suddenly put up for sale, she and her best friend Bruno set out to save it.
