Yilmar González is a young Afro-descendant, boxer and gardener from the Siloé cemetery, one of the most dangerous neighborhoods in Latin America, in Cali, Colombia. His life takes place in the midst of contrasts: on the one hand he trains to win the National Boxing Championship that represents his dreams and the hopes of a community that fights against violence and government abandonment; on the other, the cemetery and the neighborhood that represent the happiness of a life without luxuries and where we discover Yilmar’s environment: his alcoholic mother, his friends who live on the edge of crime and his girlfriend Eliana, who is also a boxer and the mother of his two children.
