They assimilate themselves into their everyday lives, intending to rob them of their treasure once they have gained their trust. In the process, they unravel the villagers&#x27; secret- their noses grow red and large when they tell a lie.Diego attempts to woo Fina, the chieftain&#x27;s daughter, and her people&#x27;s peculiarity becomes a downfall when Fina initially denies her feelings for Diego.When the true motive of Diego&#x27;s group is revealed, the chieftain drives them out of the woods. But a pregnant Fina, who professes her love for Diego, takes off to find him. Life outside her village is unkind and unforgiving and her search for Diego seems to be in vain. Fina gives birth, alone, to a boy she names Honesto, and leaves him to Lourdes, a woman who has just lost her own son.Honesto grows up having his mother&#x27;s extraordinary trait- his nose swells when he is dishonest and it only goes back to normal when he tells the truth.
