Magic, love and family combine to create a heartwarming story for the whole family. A boy named Memo learns that Abuelita, his beloved grandmother, has died after a long illness. Wanting to hold on to her memory, he tries to recover Abuelita’s dulcé, the stash of forbidden candy hidden in her bedroom. With Memo’s mother burying herself in work and his sister aggressively reclaiming the bedroom for herself, Memo turns to an unexpected ally: Abuelita herself!

Dulcé weaves magical realism and physical comedy into a boy’s search for hidden treasure, acceptance, love and treats.
