Introduction by narrator. (Musa)
The Madrigals are an extraordinary family who lived in the mountains in a
charmed place called the Encanto. The magic of Encanto has blessed every child in the family with a unique gift except Mirabel. It is a story of Alma Madrigal and her family who are blessed with magic by a candle that Alma held onto during their escape from armed conflict. Through this magic, they build a town called Encanto where each of Alma’s children are born with special gifts. Mirabel is the last child born and she seems to have no gift at all.
