Mala Bestia tells the story of Atenea, a girl who lives isolated with other children without families, in an environment where growing up means disappearing. When she goes to live with a family, everything seems to change. For the first time, she imagines being part of a place, building that home she had only sensed until now. But the threat of a future that does not include her begins to take shape and, dominated by the fear of being excluded, she will do the unimaginable to stay forever and ever.
