Paraiso plot

Exactly one year ago, “Che Loco” was murdered by a rival gang. For that reason, Joaquín, Antuanet, Lalo, Mario and Sara wander the sandy suburbs of Paraiso to pay tribute to their friend. Antuanet, the most superstitious of the bunch, takes the opportunity to ask her friends to make a wish. As if puberty wasn't hard enough, it seems even more complicated for these friends who live in Paraiso, a hamlet on the outskirts of Lima. They realize that the harsh environment they live in is slowly fading away their dreams and opportunities. They feel they have to do something, so they look for a dream to cling to.
