Tato (17), is an orphan adrift, a young rap lover. Along with his friends Pitu (18) and La Crespa (16), they seek an alternative to death and crime, through the art of hip hop and street jam battles. Tato has to run, and his only option is to leave the city and live with his grandfather Octavio (78), a flower grower, whom he does not know, and who wishes to inherit his traditions. Two genera- tions, 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.
