On the dusty roads of the Argentinian countryside, a young girl's gift pushes her opportunistic guardians to sell pet medium consultations to make a living. Whether magic or fraud, one thing is certain: the service is real – and innocence is a treasure.

Three travelers make their way along a barren country road—two adults who appear to be a couple and a young girl, all living out of a camper van as they drift from one village to the next. Their livelihood comes from an unusual source: the girl possesses a special ability to communicate with animals and offers her services to households struggling with their pets by pinpointing the root of the problem. While this setup might suggest a whimsical tale about a child animal whisperer with a supernatural gift, the film gradually reveals something else. The Message is ultimately a story of the fragility of human existence, the importance of preserving innocence, and the need for us to stay together to withstand the numbing indifference of contemporary life.
