A small peaceful village suddenly becomes a very dangerous place when a foreigner appears with a wanted man.

The making of a soldier in Peru. A group of young men, some of them teenagers, voluntarily enlists in a rigorous military program within the Peruvian Armed Forces. They are driven by their desire to engage in an ongoing armed conflict in the VRAEM, an area with military intervention framed by a 'war on drugs' policy. They aspire to become ‘men of war’ and embark on a transformative journey from hopeful adventurers into soldiers. Amidst the violence in the secluded military environment in Peru, intimate moments unfold beyond a prejudiced gaze, where compassion and care blossom among them.

Three couples, three destinies, three stories: a man imagines his life a disaster due to the abandonment of his wife; a successful model who is unfaithful to her own agency and the reunion of a man and a woman who are unfaithful to their respective partners.
