    • Synopsis
    • The day his father’s killer is released from jail, Tomás goes around town carrying a gun in his backpack.
      He is a 12 years old boy who lives with an absent mother. His best friend, an impulsive kid, suggests he should avenge his father’s death.
      That particular day, the past develops a new meaning to Tomás; no one ever told him who his dad was really and the circumstances of his death.
      Venturing in what seems to be a labyrinth, he undertakes his search among awkward silences. The memory of his father seems to get away more and more. But Tomás, far from giving up, goes to the only person who might have all the answers. When the sun goes down, his father’s killer turns out to be the one who could tell him everything he’d been wanting to know all along.
