    • Synopsis
    • Turuleca is a laughing stock among the rest of the hens; she's the only one who can't lay eggs. But her life takes a sudden, fortuitous turn when Isabel, an ex music teacher, discovers her great talent: “Turu” can understand humans, speak their language and what's more, she has the most beautiful singing voice.
      Isabel and Turuleca become close friends and the hen lives a blissful life on the farm until one day, Isabel suffers a terrible accident, loses her memory and is taken off in an ambulance to the Big City.
      Turu decides to embark on a great adventure to find her friend. On her way, she will join the circus, become a star, fall in love with Vicente the rooster and face off with the evil Armando Tramas, who is plotting to close down the circus and capture Turuleca for his own villainous gains.
