Synopsis

Jacinta guides us through the story of siblings Dylan, Andrea, and Lucas, who arrive in a fishing community on Mexico’s Pacific coast. There, they set off with their new local friends on a journey of discovery in search of long lost pirate loot left back by Francis Drake, centuries ago. In sunny and lively images, a story is delivered of children confidently indulging their lust for life and curiosity. Armed with their intelligence, a tablet, and some maps, these children are given freedom to go their own ways and together find something much more valuable than a buried treasure. Transporting us to a place of optimism, beauty and wonder.
