But the extra portion of brains comes with its problems: At school, the 8-year-old is an outsider. When an intelligence test reveals his giftedness, things change in Jeremía's life. While he himself tries to figure out what he wants to be when he grows up, his father Onesimo senses an opportunity to make big money from his son's genius.
