Rosa, a dedicated HR professional, is shocked to learn of her estranged grandfather Marcelino’s death. In a fit of rage, she destroys her computer at work and decides to leave the city to visit Marcelino’s property, which she plans to sell. Upon arrival, Rosa discovers unsettling clay statuettes made by Marcelino, depicting grotesque figures, including a six-legged bull that represents him. Haunted by dreams of these clay demons and the cold reception from the village of Vale de Sarronco, Rosa learns from young Chico and his mother that the village suffers from a severe water shortage, a situation linked to her grandfather's death and his ill temper. Despite the villagers' hostility, Rosa befriends Laura, who reveals the curse associated with the lack of water. Determined to prove her own worth and break from her grandfather’s legacy, Rosa takes on the challenge of restoring water to the village. Her quest to resolve the curse forces her to confront both her own and her grandfather’s demons, ultimately seeking the help of the mythical six-legged bull to achieve her goal.
