Sebastián has a talent for picking locks, and that's the only reason his supposed friends hang out with him. The gang breaks into industrial buildings and dockside warehouses in and around Lima. It's a grim life as a petty crook which Sebastián endures by escaping into an own personal dream-world. One day Emilia appears in his inner realm. It becomes increasingly difficult to distinguish whether their strong feelings for each other are real or part of his fantasy world. Emilia's two brothers, the leaders of a gang of thieves, will never accept their love. When Sebastián gets into a confrontation with one of them, he lashes out. There's only one way out of this nightmare, but before his planned escape with Emilia, Sebastián risks everything in one last assault.
