21-year-old Simón bears the signs of what is a genetic disability on his body: small defects in speech, head and body movement, cognitive and relational problems, which increase when he is tense or nervous. Without any legal certificate, the boy sneaks into some care centers for the handicapped and befriends some disabled boys. Then it turns out that he is different, that he is not disabled at all, his was a pretense, but to what end?
