Synopsis
Alicia had a “perfect life” and lost it. Her six year old son died in an accident. Her grief is plagued by guilt, which has made her disassociate from society, from married life, and from herself. She now lives in the Old Quarter of Panama, a rich colonial enclave surrounded by Panamá's poorest neighbourhoods. There she meets Chief, a streetsmart 13 year old who takes care of cars in front of her apartment and insists on getting paid for his job. Alicia keeps a safe distance from him, until one night Chief arrives at Alicia's apartment bleeding from a gunshot wound, and begs her to let him inside.
