    • Edgardo (Rodrigo Salinas) is a journalist who tries to keep his job in the newspaper of a small town where there almost seems to be no news. Faced with the threat of losing his occupation, together with his right arm, Vladimir (Ernesto Meléndez), they decide to invent a story, a "little white lie", which will become the first of many news that will give new impetus to the newspaper for which they work. Being a true celebrity of the town, the protagonist must decide whether to confess the truth, or keep it secret and continues to take advantage of the good run.
