Other details
Set in Colombia, the film contains several nods and themes of magical realism (a literary genre using magical elements in ordinary settings) typical of the works by Colombian writer Gabriel García Márquez. An example is in the trailer, where the fairy dust sparks in the Disney logo is changed with yellow butterflies, a recurring theme in Marquez 1967 novel ‘One Hundred Years of Solitude’.
