    • Synopsis
    • Tato (17), is an orphan adrift, a young lover of rap, Tato along with his friends Pitu (18) and La Crespa (16) seek to resist and find a different alternative to death and crime through the art of hip hop and street jam battles.
      Tato has to run. His only option is to leave the city and live with Octavio (78), a grandfather, a flower grower, whom he does not know, and who wishes to inherit his countryside cultural tradition. Two generations, two ways of life and a continuous feeling of loss, death and loneliness rain over Tato's life in his struggle to survive and find his own identity as he transitions to the adult world.
