In the midst of a tense move, Julia only thinks about getting to the movies on time, until following her grandmother to the bakery confronts her with an intimate and silent truth: the value of memory, dignity, and the small gestures that transform the passage of time.

Alfonso grows up in a neighborhood marked by hardship and a lack of opportunities. His cousin Francis, a burglar who specializes in ram-raids, and his small crew represent a way out and a sense of identity for him. Guided by his protective instincts and affection, Francis tries to keep him away from danger, but faces the impossibility of protecting him without hurting him or giving something up. Alfonso insists on joining the crew, determined to stop watching from the sidelines. Together, they move toward a dead end from which there is no turning back.
