Synopsis

Every night after work, RAS paints graffiti on different walls of his neighborhood in eastern Cali. During the day, he's a construction worker and the son of MARIA, a sweet mulatto woman who immigrated to the city from the Pacific jungle. RAS hasn't been able to sleep and is starting to daydream. MARIA suffers because of this, believing someone has bewitched him and the boy will end up going crazy. One day, RAS loses his job for stealing several cans of paint he was using to create a large mural on the lot next to his house. Without a penny to help his mother, he crosses the city in search of CALVIN, another young graffiti artist and fine arts student who is going through difficult times following his parents' divorce and his grandmother's cancer. The boys wander aimlessly through the city, like someone who wants to get lost and never return. Along the way, like two fungi, they´ll contaminate their surroundings with immense freedom.
