Two identical houses house two unequal families: the Guerra and the Salvador. The Guerra family breaks down when Joaquín abandons his wife Mónica and his three children, Valeria, Tomy and Thaís. But that same day Arturo and Teo Salvador, a father and his son, who have lived alone since the death of their mother, arrive at the neighboring house. Thus begins a confrontation of two opposite models of fatherhood: the tender and present father, against whom he renounces and forgets. Teo and Tomy, teenagers of the same age, meet each other that morning, as a harbinger of their crossed paths in the adventure of building a friendship over shared pain. But how and why are these families searched for, or lost, or found without knowing that they have been lost? An innocent prayer in the mountains will unleash danger, illusion, laughter, fear and the conquest of three boys alone in a forest of questions, of violence, but also of mercy.
