Teresa is 4 years old and is terribly scared of the dark. Every year, on her birthday, she makes the same wish: to overcome her fear. But some wishes take time and perseverance to come true. After two birthdays where her fear refuses to fade, Teresa decides to take action and performs a bold and extraordinary act: she catches the dark! Soon, however, she realizes that without it the world cannot go on. It is then, through wonder and amazement, that Teresa discovers the magical and playful side of darkness.
