Synopsis

Eustaquio and Heriberto, two forty-year-old altar boys, live in a chapel located in the middle of
the missionary jungle. Both were abandoned as children and grew up as brothers under the tutelage
of Father Roberto: an elder priest who was their mentor and, who now, at the end of his days, they
should take care of and protect.
But Heriberto wishes to leave the habits to spend his days with María - a young woman who hardly notice
him-, and Eustaquio has received a letter telling him that it will be appointed priest and will replace
Father Roberto when he dies.
The two altar boys face their first great existential crisis. And it is then when Eustaquio has an epiphany
that leads him to plot a divine plan: eliminate Father Roberto consecrating himself as a priest, and
helping Heriberto to manages to approach his beloved Maria, in exchange for his complicity in the
murder, of course, not everything happens according to plan, and destiny solves its respective
lives in a mysterious way.
