A group of children, aged 7 through 14, are left home alone only with housekeeper Esther at a house in a gated community. They spend the day by the swimming pool, playing videogames and exploring romance. Slowly they begin cautiously testing boundaries, staying up late, watching otherwise forbidden TV shows, breaking into an uninhabited nearby house and generally exploring the possibilities of freedom. Tensions heighten with the arrival of the maid’s brother, Juan, a young teen from a poor rural area.
