SYNOPSIS
Víctor, a forklift driver of 17 years old, works in Mercado 4 in Asunción, a hostile and very competitive world, needs to get money. He receives a rather unusual proposal: to transport seven boxes, whose contents he does not know, in exchange for 100 dollars. With a borrowed mobile phone, Víctor begins the trip. He only has to cross eight blocks, but things get complicated on the way. As night falls, Victor realizes that he has become involved in a very dangerous situation.
