Plot

Leo San Juan, an insecure child of nine years old, lives eternally frightened by horror stories that Nando tells his older brother. Within these stories it is 'The Legend of Nahuala', according to which, an old abandoned Casona is possessed by the spirit of an evil witch known as the Nahuala.

Sinekatalog’s take

A fearful boy is haunted by his brother's ghost stories and a legend of a witch in an old mansion. The animation turns Mexican folklore into a child-friendly spooky adventure. A good seasonal choice for young viewers who like gentle scares.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
