Synopsis

On the outskirts of Lima, in a neighbourhood built around a vast cemetery, 11-year-old Chito tends the homing pigeons on his rooftop — birds that carry drugs for the business of his older brother Rockío (16), and with whom he shares a unique bond. Chito and his friends sell flowers outside the cemetery, playing and working joyfully among the graves. One afternoon, during a football match with the cemetery as backdrop, the violence around them takes the lives of Rockío and another boy, abruptly ending Chito’s childhood. As the community mourns through ritual, music and dance, a grief-stricken Chito sets out on a path toward vengeance — until a gesture of humanity changes his fate and that of his pigeons.
