The son of a rural mother enters the boarding school of Colonia Dignidad -a settlement of German immigrants from the south of Chile- with the aim of receiving a better education.
He becomes the favorite of the leader, whom he sees as the father he never had. However, being the favorite hides an obligation that gives an abrupt end to his innocence.
