In this quiet portrait of Uruguay's juvenile justice system, the country's troubled and neglected youth face few options. While jobs are scarce, prostitution and petty crime are always feasible pursuits. In and out of jail, the film's teen subjects rarely catch a break or secure an entrance into a promising future. As the subjects live their impoverished lives before the camera, harsh questions about the functioning of society and culture arise.
