Alex is having a love affair with his cousin Lisbet, a young woman married to a taxi driver who is involved in dirty business. Alex and Lisbet are fired from the shop where they work and soon Alex turns to selling porno films in Lima’s Polvos Azules market. Antonio, Alex’s father who lives in the Peruvian interior, wins the lottery and travels to Lima to collect the money and meet the son he has not seen in years.

 

 

Antonio has no idea how much the winnings will change his life. Alex tiene una relación amorosa con su prima Lisbet, una joven casada con un taxista metido en negocios turbios. Alex y Lisbet son despedidos de la tienda donde trabajan y él pasa a vender películas porno en el mercado de Polvos Azules. Antonio, padre de Alex que vive en el interior del país, gana la lotería y viaja a Lima para cobrar el dinero y encontrarse con su hijo luego de años sin verlo. Antonio no imagina de qué manera el premio va a afectarle la vida.
