Sometimes, all that glitters is not gold.
Simón, a teenager from a coastal town whose parents are ill, decides to commit petty thefts with the intention of helping them financially. Within weeks, he realizes that stealing can earn him more money, and faster, than working. When he finds out that a schoolmate and an older girl from the neighborhood are doing the same, the three decide to team up. But during the first distributions of the profits, disagreements arise when his partners notice that Simón has extraordinary luck in everything he does.
