Overview

In this musical coming-of-age fantasy, seven-year-old Elmo believes he is a miracle born from a shooting star. Upon discovering on his birthday that he is adopted, he runs away into the forest, following a *santelmo* (will-o'-the-wisp) he mistakes for a shooting star. Lost and frightened, Elmo confronts and embraces his true self as he seeks his way back to his family and home.
