Cristina and Simón are two graffiti and mural artists who enjoy painting the walls of Medellín, the city where they live in. Their restless spirit leads them to defy a criminal gang by painting a mural over a threatening message left on a wall. The love they have for each other along with their common friendship with the artists of La selva —an old house used by them as a shelter— and the family tensions, intertwine to tell a story where youth’s irrepressible strength is brought face to face with fear, violence and the difficulties of growing up.
