Jorge is a peaceful hard-working man who seeks a simple, quiet life for himself and his family. One day, he is mugged and humiliated by a gang of thugs led by Kalule, a delinquent from his neighborhood. This event infuriates his son as much for Jorge’s meek acceptance as for the act itself. The son, looking for retribution, ends up getting himself shot. Kalule is sent to jail and when he gets out 18 months later, begins a campaign of terror against Jorge and his family. The authorities do nothing, so Jorge decides to take matters into his own hands.

Daniel (50) lives in overwhelming and routine isolation due to the pain of bad decisions made in his life. He spends his day denying his sadness in the company of his dog “Pulento”, whom he cares for, takes for walks, and feeds.

Daniel lives in an endless cycle of emotions drowned in drinks and the company of his faithful “Pulento.”
