Toni Darder (Juan Diego) trabaja como educador en un reformatorio de menores. Le quedan unos pocos años para jubilarse y siente sobre sus espaldas la pesada carga del fracaso. Ha perdido la esperanza en lo que hace y en su propio destino, y aun así, arrastrado por la inercia y dando lo mejor de sí mismo, continúa en la brecha trabajando con unos chicos, cuyas circunstancias parecen todas la misma. Sin embargo, el ingreso en el centro de Tariq, un niño magrebí de la calle, hace que algo esté a punto de cambiar en su vida. Y quizá esta vez sea para bien.

Toni Darder works as an educator in a juvenile reformatory. He will retire in a few years and feels on his shoulders the heavy burden of failure. He has lost hope in what he does and in his own destiny, and yet, driven by inertia, he continues to work with some kids whose circumstances seem all the same. However, admission to the center of Tariq, a North African street child, makes something is about to change in his life. And maybe this time for good. This is a story of second chances, of maintaining hope when there seems to be no reason for it.
