Synopsis

"At a certain moment in our lives, we let go of pursuing our dreams. At some point, reality becomes so strong that it's not possible for us to escape. It happens to all of us, and in this particular case, it happens to the abandoned teenagers of the city of Lima, who grow up orphans or in hostile familiar environment. They have to make it on their own and therefore they form gangs for the simple feeling of belonging to something. Sebastián, an 18-year-old boy, is the silent one of the gang and is constantly the target of bullying for his inability to connect with the rest of the kids he goes around with. He feels he is not destined to be where he is. Until the day he meets Jaen's sister: Emilia. That is a problem, because Jaen is the leader of the gang, which makes of Emilia untouchable to anyone. Still, Sebastián cannot avoid his feelings and both of them will fight to stay together in a world that scares them and drives them away from their dreams.
