Leo and Lou

Synopsis

Eight-year-old Leo is an orphan. Though mute, making her wants known is no issue; The real problem is that she doesn’t seem to fit in, anywhere. Equipped with a preternatural determination and her old fishing rod, Leo escapes the orphanage with the aim of entering a fishing competition in a nearby village.

For his part, Lou is a surly man who has trouble connecting with other people. When fate makes his path cross with Leo’s, she tricks him into believing she needs his help to get back to her family. And so, Lou agrees to take Leo to Cobas, the coastal town where the fishing tournament is being held.

With the authorities in full pursuit of a missing child and an unidentified adult, what at first seemed like a simple trip turns into a real adventure in which Leo & Lou become inseparable. The two misfits find acceptance and understanding with each other and their place in the world, rediscovering the true meaning of the word family.
