La Casa del Crimen
Violeta tiene once años y debe seguir a su madre, que decide llevarla a vivir a un pueblo pequeño, lejos de su padre y de la modernidad, sin darle ninguna explicación. Allí conoce a Lautaro, un niño de su edad, quien se transforma en su único amigo. Juntos recorren el pueblo y él la lleva a conocer un bosque milenario y una casa abandonada, rodeada de misterios, a la que todos llaman la casa del crimen. Al mismo tiempo, y poco a poco, Violeta irá descubriendo episodios desconocidos de la vida de su familia, algunos de ellos ligados a la historia reciente del país, y desentrañará junto a Lautaro el enigma de la casa del crimen. Los niños se convertirán así en los protagonistas de los grandes cambios que sucederán en el lugar.
