Lucio is a professor at the prestigious University of Buenos Aires. In the middle of a crisis, aimless and motivated by a promise made, Lucio embarks on a new and unexpected challenge: to teach Literature temporarily at School in Isla Maciel, a marginalized area in the south of Greater Buenos Aires. There he will try to help his father to save Dilan, a student hounded by a group of drug traffickers.
