Lucio is a literature teacher at the prestigious University of Buenos Aires. However, academic life no longer interests him: Lucio wants to share his knowledge somewhere where it makes a difference, by teaching literature in an outlying suburb of Buenos Aires.

Lucio will have to redouble his ingenuity to carry out his classes while facing all kinds of moral impasses and social prejudices in an attempt to save Dilan, his favorite student, who is being pursued by a group of drug traffickers seeking revenge.
