L.A. engineer Pete Stanhope is eager to end the costly and stressful IVF treatments he and his wife, Donna, have been undergoing, and he suggests they explore adoption instead. However, Donna is not on board with this idea. To ease the tension in their marriage, they decide to take a romantic trip to Mexico. Unfortunately, car trouble leaves them stranded in the quaint and serene village of Dommatina, where the residents live contentedly. Pete seeks assistance from the village’s sole mechanic, Juan Salazar, and also helps the wise father Arturo with the preparations for the annual festival. Juan’s younger brother, Pepillo, who has a disability, is set to be the star of the ‘flying act’ during the festivities. As Pete and Donna spend time with the boy and embrace the village’s simple joys, they begin to reconsider their own future.
