In the middle of the country's situation,convulsed by subversive terrorist attacks, military actions, social disconcert and political instability, Diego has to develop his identity, influenced by the group pressures imposed by the paradigms of adolescent life, more interested in the football, video games, technology, girls, parties, sex, music, fights, television and the beach. Through they eyes of a group of teenagers we see a traditional urban middle class, that lives a life apart and mostly indifferent to the situation lived inside the country. But step by step this situation begins to affect their everyday life.
