Synopsis:

Iker, a young boy in Puerto Rico during the summer of 1999, lives through a series of days that completely uproot his life and mark the end of his innocent childhood. After a child is kidnapped from his neighborhood park, Iker’s mother asks him to not leave their street anytime he plays outside. He agrees to do so, but on the last day of summer, he succumbs to his friend’s pressure to play hide and seek in an abandoned school in the outskirts of the neighborhood. After being frightened by what he finds in the school, Iker accidentally gets lost in a part of town unknown to him and experiences a traumatic event when he trusts in the kindness of strangers. Ultimately, he is forced to grow up and do whatever he can to find his way back home again.
