Ekeko: el muñeco de la suerte.

The story follows Gabriela, a young woman seeking to heal the deep wounds of a traumatic past. In her desperation, she decides to invoke a traditional Ekeko doll to heal and change her destiny. However, what initially seems to bring her good fortune soon transforms into her worst nightmare. The plot explores how the unbridled pursuit of prosperity distorts the amulet's essence when it interacts with Taitaorco, a powerful mountain spirit. Under the stark premise that "greed is a deadly sin" and "every stroke of luck comes at a price," a sinister ancestral rule is revealed: if the cigarette offered to the statuette goes out before burning completely, a portal to the underworld (Uku Pacha) opens, awakening malevolent entities ready to violently collect on favors rendered in exchange for your very soul.
