Estrella, a resourceful young girl in a war-torn Mexican city, discovers that the world around her slips between the living and the dead after her mother vanishes. Dark monsters emerge from the shadows, mirroring the violence she faces, while unlikely allies offer fragile hope. With spare, lyrical imagery and a fearless fusion of fairy-tale fear and social realism, Tigers Are Not Afraid becomes a haunting story about loss, resilience, and courage.
