Movie description:
Forced to move to Florida with his eccentric parents in order to establish a stereotypical Mexican Restaurant, a young teen, Carson Lind, must confront them when he begins to suspect that there is an eerie presence in their old historic Spanish casa.
Carson Lind, a 13-year-old hockey star, loves his life in Minnesota. When his parents decide to move to Florida to open a wacky Mexican Restaurant, he must leave his home and his childhood friend. The Linds purchase an old Spanish home for their business that they call »La Casa Minnehaha« (The House of Laughing Waters) and hire a Mexican chef, Diego. Unfortunately, they never bother to find out that Diego is Dominican, not Mexican. His daughter Amanda is not thrilled with these loony Minnesotans, or with her father’s role in this irreverent restaurant.
Amused by quirky decorations, Carson’s mother particularly dotes over one little pinata that she affectionately calls »Little Burro«. When »Little Burro« is discovered destroyed, Carson is immediately blamed. While cleaning up the broken pinata that night, Carson is alarmed by eerie noises and finally a voice: »Vayense de mi casa!« Knowing he can’t face his parents, Carson appeals to Amanda who then leads him on a wild ghost hunt. They explore the spooky hallways, trying to capture floating orbs and disembodied voices on tape. It is all very new and strange to Carson – as well as his stirring feelings for Amanda. The kids soon discover that a Spaniard, Juan Camarillo, had built the home years ago and that his wrath must stem from the Linds’ complete disregard for its history. If Carson could only convince his parents that this historical gem of a home deserves more respect and integrity, then maybe one day Juan could rest in peace.
