Jose, 19 years old, lives with his mother in Guatemala. In one of the most religious, dangerous and impoverished countries, they have a tough life: she dedicates her time to going to the church and selling sandwiches, while he faces a routine of crowded buses and casual dates. When Jose meets Luis, an immigrant from the Caribbean coast, he begins to cultivate a relationship that makes him reflect about his pains and passions.
