- Synopsis
- Laura and Sergio have been friends from the neighborhood since they were kids.
  Every afternoon they spend time together talking about the uncertain future and what they want to be and not be.
  Now, with the school just finished, they must move from talk to action and make real decisions that will affect the direction of their lives.
  
  Laura, the good student, eccentric, loner, lover of astronomy and astrology at the same time, debates between staying to help her family or going to study the stars with a scholarship abroad. Sergio, a young animalist, increasingly radical and idealistic, enters into constant conflict with his father over his apparent lack of direction and purpose in life and begins to feel that only animals are worthy of affection in a cruel and superficial world.
  
  When Sergio's dog, Laika, disappears, the boys will discover in their search an obscure animal abuse operation looming over the neighborhood. Laika will be rescued safe and sound, but this will be the genesis of an honest and without malice idea: to set up a detective agency for missing pets.
  Running the agency is difficult, but more is living. Laura has always been in love with Sergio and for fear of losing him she has never told him, and feeling their lives are going to change irrevocably, she has made a promise to confess her feelings to him before leaving for good.
  
  Family dramas, anguish and youthful dreams, everyday life in a western Bogotá neighborhood that refuses to lose its residential character in the middle of the big city. An absurd, naive, and at the same time powerful idea that can change the lives of everyone involved: the lost animals of the world and those who seek them.
