About this listen

“Perched On The Rooftop” is a compelling true story about a family’s resilience in the face of overwhelming challenges. The journey begins with a harrowing storm that compels the family to find strength in each other.

In the heart of the 1970s somewhere in Honduras, Minda, a spirited young woman, falls victim to a debilitating illness shrouded in mystery. What begins as innocuous headaches and fevers soon spiral into a sinister affliction, defying the arsenal of home remedies wielded by her determined mother, Mita.

Desperate for a cure, Mita seeks solace in modern medicine, consulting countless doctors and exhausting every treatment they prescribe, only to be disappointed at every turn. As Minda's condition worsens, plunging her family into a state of despair, Mita finds herself grappling with forces beyond her comprehension, helpless in the face of an insidious foe.

In a last-ditch effort to save her daughter, Mita turns to a renowned healer whose cryptic advice offers a glimmer of hope amidst the darkness. With no other recourse but to wait, Mita and her family endure the agonizing uncertainty, their hearts heavy with the weight of Minda's suffering.

Amidst the backdrop of a slowly evolving town disconnected from modern advancements, Mita's remote community's isolation compounds their plight. Yet, amidst the struggle, they find strength in each other, buoyed by the unwavering support of Mita's oldest son, Lito, who remains a steadfast pillar of stability in their darkest hour.

But just as hope begins to wane, a mysterious figure emerges from the shadows, wielding ancient rituals and arcane knowledge beyond comprehension. With his arrival, the tide starts to turn as the enigmatic stranger sets forth on a journey to conquer the impossible and unveil the secrets that hold Minda's fate in balance.

In the end, against all odds, this mysterious man's apparition brings salvation.
