6-year-old Manny is bursting with excitement at the thought of preparing a welcome home dinner for his dad Tony, who’s been away. Together with his mum - professional chef Valeria - his granny Abuela Alma, and his superhero companion Mighty Mujer, he’s planning to cook a family meal of arepas, guacamole, and a delicious Brigadeiro dessert.

Abuela, however, would rather Manny go and play with his toys than help in the kitchen – she thinks it’s ‘a woman’s place’. Manny feels differently - Why can’t he cook and learn to be a professional chef, or a superhero when he grows up? Or both?

But when his mum has to get a missing ingredient and his abuela falls asleep, a mishap puts the whole dinner on the line. Manny will have to be resourceful and take on the challenge to put things right with the help of Mighty Mujer – and the audience!
