A melancholic, morally ambiguous coming-of-age story about orphaned siblings navigating loss and vulnerability through an unsettling age-gap relationship.

When their parents die, Bianca starts to smoke and Tomas is still a virgin. The orphans explore the dangerous streets of adulthood until Bianca finds Maciste, a retired Mr. Universe, and enters his dark mansion in search of a future.
