Summary: Gringuito is the story of a young child that is uprooted from his New York home and forced to move back to Chile with his parents. He has always lived in New York and feels totally out of place the day his parents settle in to their new apartment in Santiago, Chile. Ivan, the Gringuito, considers his parents return very disappointing and feels that his mother's pregnancy will also take attention away from him and cause him to lose his "exclusivity". Shortly after moving in, he decides to runaway and gets involved with "El Flaco", who looks after Ivan and for whom he develops a true friendship. Ivan’s experiences develop into a young boy’s rite of passage and lead him to a poignant encounter with Chile.
