Sebastian has a talent: opening locks. That seems to be the only reason why he is part of a gang that robs industrial buildings and warehouses in Lima. His life is complicated, but Sebastián manages to survive by escaping into a world of dreams. One day, Emilia, the sister of the band's leaders, appears in this world and Sebastián will find it difficult to distinguish between reality and dreams.[4]
