In 1980s Chile, a 16-year-old boy – living with his sickly mother – copes with his troubled home life by writing and drawing a vampire story in his notebook. They live with his abusive uncle and his family who treat them with increasing disdain. They are 'allegados' – guests without a home of their own – who quietly try to stay unnoticed, make no noise and take up as little space as possible.
