An elderly gentleman remembers how, in the 1950`s, when he was a little boy in a small town, he fell in love with a neighbor girl. He feared that she would not like him, but he still longed to see her up close, so he utilized a brochure of magic tricks to attempt to make himself invisible. This charming, technically lovely tale of youth in rural Colombia was that nation`s Best Foreign Film submission to the 2002 Academy Awards.
