With the transition to democracy, Chile’s president issues a sweeping pardon of all prisoners not charged with violent crimes. Among the beneficiaries is young Ángel Santiago and the veteran Vergara Grey, a renowned safe-cracker. The future plans of the two men cannot be more diametrically opposed. While Vergara Grey seeks only to recover his family and begin a new life, Ángel dreams of exacting revenge on the prison warden and landing a big score. Victoria, however, crosses their path, altering the course of things and forcing everyone’s destiny to change. (Vértice Cine)
