    • Synopsis
    • In a Little town, kids are told horrid stories about the Longleg (boogieman) to keep them inside and under control during the nap time. For the adults, the Longleg is obviously an old and convenient legend… until Teto, Mary and Ramon discover that the Longleg actually exists. Ramon, Maria and Teto, three inseparable friends, discover not only that the Longleg is actually a kind person, but also discover that the real enemy behind the legend is no other than the actual mayor of the town, Mr. Chanchurro. He keeps the Longleg under his command in order to scare the young children from the streets during the nap hour. Ramon, Teto and Maria, develop a friendly bond with the Longleg, and adventure themselves together into the dangerous mission of liberating him from the tyrant mayor and revealing the adult world the truth of what is really happening in their comfortably happy town.
