My Friend The Sun

A father named Diego struggles to provide a stable home for his daughter, Xóchitl. Their lives change when a mural she creates opens a gateway to Tollan, the land of the Mexica gods. While Xóchitl is identified as a potential Sixth Sun, a deity named Tezcatlipoca schemes to steal that power for himself. Separated by different realms, the pair must overcome divine deception and their own personal failings to find one another again. Along the way, they work with unexpected allies to learn that genuine strength comes from faith in people, trust, and sacrifice.
