Rá, Culebro, Sere, Winny and Nano, five street kids from Medellin, five kings without a kingdom, with no law and no family, looking for The Promised Land. The five embark on a trip to claim a piece of land that Rá inherited after a long process of land restitution. A subversive tale about a savage and lovely clan that transits between reality and delirium. A journey to nowhere where anything can happen.

Bastian, a young trans boy, has to face a very difficult time in life: adolescence. It becomes even harder when he has to put his best efforts into asserting his individuality. From age 12 to 18, Bastian is filmed by his dear cousin Lorena who catches every glimpse of intimacy and difficulties. We witness how social and economic obstacles can put Bastian’s transition at risk. Bastian’s journey introduces us to a newly open-minded Chile, more tolerant thanks to Chile’s new generation.
