While running away from her home because of the conquerors, Abuela Madrigal loses her beloved husband but manages to take her three children with herself.

It’s magical and can protect an entire village by hiding it in “Encanto.“
Abuela’s lives in this new house now and has that magic spread in her family too. This allows the members of the family to be blessed with special gifts.
What were the Special Gifts Given to the Members?
Living there slowly made everyone own a gift, and so Bruno is blessed with the ability to know what can happen in the future, and he escapes knowing the future. Mirabel, who is the youngest girl of Julieta, doesn’t receive any gifts. On the day when Pepa’s son, Antonio, is about to receive his ability, Mirabel stands by him to stay strong. And he eventually receives his ability to communicate with animals. The whole town rejoices, Mirabel too, but somewhere she feels left out too.
How will Mirabel Save the Magic?
Mirabel was the first one to notice the cracks in the house and saw the flickering candles, but just when she went to inform everyone, things went back to normal. And so everyone thought that she might be thinking too hard. But later Abuela believes her. Mirabel is now feeling weaker as she enters Bruno’s room. And there she sees a giant cave and a vision too. The vision reveals that she’s the reason behind the cracks.
Her cousin Dolores is blessed with the strength of hearing everything, and her other cousin Luisa also has some strengths. But as Mirabel comes out of the room, Luisa starts feeling as though her strength is leaving her. Abuela instructs her to keep silent as Isabella and her elder sister is about to be engaged.
What Happens to the Engagement?
Dolores, the one who has the ability to hear everything, gets to know this. She heard him when she was talking to her father about Bruno’s prediction. And then the proposal and everything that was destined to follow are cancelled. But later, it’s known that even Isabella was against this marriage.
How will Mirabel Save the Magic?
Abuela starts cursing Mirabel, but this time, even Mirabel snaps back at her. And the house does fall apart. Mirabel runs to the river where Pedro died, and then Abuela admits that the real magic was when the family was together, and then they come back to restore the house. And when the house is restored, Mirabel puts a doorknob, and magic is restored too.
