After toughened boxer Octavio and kitchen hand Hugo surrender to their intense attraction for each other, they move from their oppressive small town to the capital. Octavio is advised to stop fighting due to epilepsy and struggles with the decision to leave his career behind. Hugo, meanwhile, is confused about his feelings for his new boss’s daughter, and when his worlds collide, it leaves a rip in his life that isn’t easy to mend. Writer-director Julio Jorquera Arriagada’s heartfelt debut film features passionate performances and an acoustic score against a stark backdrop.
