The official synopsis reads:
In an impoverished neighborhood of 1980s Medellín, a group of disaffected teens steal a TV reporter’s camera to document their lives. Piercing the derelict landscape’s oppressive atmosphere with disarming reflections on dreams and death, their understanding of reality and hope begins to erode as reports of mysterious lights falling from the sky coincide with temporal and spatial distortions.
