Plot

Ana is a sweet and intelligent 10-year-old girl who has been affected by the death of her mother. She has been rendered virtually speechless by the trauma, though she expresses herself through music and possesses an extraordinary ability to move objects with her mind. Ana's grandmother, Julia Vidal, is the owner and headmistress of Instituto Vidal. Julia was once kind but has now turned into a bitter woman following the death of her husband and her daughter, Laura. Ana's unscrupulous father, Francisco Capistrán, has taken advantage of the situation to try to steal Julia's school. The timely arrival of Ana's uncle, Salvador, Amanda and their adopted son, Pedro, changes everything. Pedro, a fish out-of-water, refuses to follow the rigid rules of the school. Ana's lonely life takes an unexpected turn for the better and she regains her joy in a series of adventures with Pedro and their group of friends.

The group includes, Santiago, a spoiled rich kid raised by his maid; Lourdes, a shy girl, who devotes most of her time attending her Down Syndrome brother, Carlitos, who tries to show everyone even mentally disabled children have feelings and can contribute to society; Patricia a lonely girl who dreams of becoming rich, at any cost; Gilberto, a boy with a speech disorder that causes shame to his self-absorbed parents; Renata, tries hard to win the affection of her father, whom believes that women are worthless; "El 7 Leguas" a poor boy, who is not allowed to attend a prestigious school, he is loyal and inventive, and Rafa, a chubby boy in love with Patricia.
