Miguel is a young Colombian politician blinded by his own privilege. Victim of a violent attack, he loses his memory and finds himself living in a very different world, a world inhabited precisely by the kind of people he had once despised. Here he will meet a cast of colorful indigents, garbage-pickers, petty thieves and a pious and promiscuous drag queen who falls madly in love with him. These people provide him with their own form of warmth and solidarity, but Miguel is haunted by fragments of his past. Eventually, he finds out not who he was, but rather who he is: a man struggling for redemption.

Miguel es un joven político enceguecido por sus privilegios. Víctima de un violento ataque, pierde la memoria para terminar en manos del tipo de gente que despreciaba.  Miguel conocerá un trío de simpáticos buscadores de cadá- veres, un travestí rezandero y libertino, un cartonero que prepara ricas sopas y experimentará la tibieza de la solidaridad cuando se está mas allá de todo y se es ajeno hasta de sí mismo, pues Miguel el político ya no existe, aunque hay otro Miguel esencial que lucha por emerger y buscar, si hay, una redención.
