A wolfpack called Ernesto

Una jauría llamada Ernesto

A succession of individual views become the segments of one collective character: the kid who in a certain moment of his life had access to a gun, used it to kill, and soon became a part of the many pieces that conform a crime organization. It's a travel exploration to the bowels of the most fragile link on the chain of a crime organization, victims as well as perpetrators, which confirms the pain that means to fear a kid.
