The Story

Miguel Carrillo, known as “Pinocchio”, is a self-taught orphan from a small rural town who never stops inventing. In 1928, with Mexico barred by treaty from developing aeronautical technology, the whole town convinced he is mad and the army watching his every move, he finds an unlikely ally in Kate Jones, the U.S. Ambassador’s daughter, and risks everything to get his dream off the ground.
