Synopsis:Three teenagers, Gerardo, Nano and Raymundo, rob petrol so that they can spend their nights driving around aimlessly. Thus, we find ourselves drawn into a story where our heroes speed around in mummy's car for kicks, and where each stop is a run-in with reality sorely testing their friendship, demonstrating that adolescent camaradarie often draws a thin line between betrayal, deception and kamikaze-type solidarity.
