Julián and Alejandro find an abandoned briefcase. Is this briefcase empty or full of problems? More than a briefcase, what Julián and Alejandro have is a chance to change their lives. Anything is possible if the briefcase remains closed. But what if they open it? This film explores how doubt, uncertainty, and procrastination can arise in any situation. It´s a film about cops and robbers, without cops or robbers. A film about change, and the importance of challenging situations.
