Twelve-year-old Pedro roams the streets with his friends, raised by the violent urban atmosphere around him in a working class district of Caracas. After Pedro seriously injures another boy in a rough game of play, single father Andrés decides they must flee to hide. Andrés will realize he is a father incapable of controlling his own teenage son, but their situation will bring them closer than they have ever been.

Director Gustavo Rondóns paints a gritty, fast-paced picture of the violence of everyday life in Venezuelas capital city while telling the story of a father willing to sacrifice everything for his son.
