Andrés and his 12 year old son Pedro live in a blue-collar violent neighborhood on the outskirts of Caracas but hardly see each other. One day Andrés comes home and finds out that Pedro has gotten himself in serious trouble after hurting a boy in a fight. They must flee their home to stay alive and the experience draws father and son together in a way neither of them anticipated. (www.filmaffinity.com)
