Intro An armed conflict forces young couple Pedro and Alma Madrigal to flee their home village in Colombia with their infant triplets, Julieta, Pepa, and Bruno. Pedro is killed, but the candle Alma is carrying gains a magical power that repels the attackers and creates Casita, a sentient house located in a magical realm bordered by mountains.
50 years later, the village thrives under the candle's protection, which grants "gifts" to each Madrigal descendant when they turn 5, which they use to serve the villagers. Bruno, who was vilified and scapegoated for his precognition, disappeared ten years ago. Julieta's youngest daughter, 15-year-old Mirabel, inexplicably did not receive a gift.
On his fifth birthday, Pepa's youngest son, Antonio, is granted the ability to talk to animals. During the ensuing celebration, the other Madrigals unwittingly exclude Mirabel from being in a family photo with them. Mirabel sees Casita cracking and the candle's flame flickering and alerts her family, but Casita temporarily repairs itself, causing the other Madrigals to not believe Mirabel. After overhearing Alma praying, Mirabel resolves to restore Casita's magic herself. Mirabel's 19-year-old sister Luisa, who possesses superhuman strength, confesses to Mirabel that she feels overwhelmed by her constant obligations. Luisa suggests that Bruno's room, located in a forbidden tower in Casita, may hold the secret to why the magic is fading.
