Nicanor and his mom leave their beloved town, San Pedro, to move to the big city. As the train rolls along, Nicanor thinks about everything they’re leaving behind. Did he pack everything he wanted to take with him?

A train conductor reveals a secret to him: when someone leaves, they pack everything they love into their suitcase, and that’s why the train travels so slowly and feels so heavy.

Over the years, Nicanor will come to understand that there are things we never leave behind, because they always travel with us.
