Synopsis
Urban kids’ rural adventure
Rá, Culebro, Sere, Winny and Nano are streets kids in Medellín who have formed a kind of fraternal clan. The life they lead, on the edge of the law, is fraught with danger. So, when they learn that Rá has inherited a piece of land from his late grandmother through a government restitution programme, the boys leave the city and to stake their claim in the depths of the Colombian interior. But that journey, too, is an adventure that will test their fortitude and friendships.
