Synopsis
In the mid 60's, Antonio is 5 years old. He is fascinated by a TV serial about Mars, and one day he tells his grandfather that he would love to travel to Mars when he grows up. To his amazement, his grandfather offers to take him there with his tow truck. He accepts the invitation and after going through places absolutely unknown to him, they arrive to a reddish, stony, Martian-like place where they find a small roadside store. When the trip is over, Antonio returns home with a souvenir from the shop, being sure that he has been to Mars. The story continues portraying different moments of Antonio's life, all of them connected somehow with his childhood experience.
