The best repentance is to change
This is the story of Daniel, a "normal" teenager without clear ideas, who gets mixed up with some dangerous friends: Andreu and Soren, the latter a far-right sympathizer. One night, they decide to carry out what was supposed to be a mere prank, but things go wrong: they go to set fire to the shelter for unaccompanied minors (MENA), but Andreu dies in the fire, while Soren is gravely injured and saved by Munir, a local young man of Moroccan origin.
Daniel manages to escape and goes unpunished, but his guilt leads him to help Munir's family and become friends with his sister, Amina, whom he eventually falls in love with, forcing him to question many of his beliefs. When Amina discovers that Daniel was one of the instigators of the fire, everything seems to fall apart, and Daniel will have to find a way to redeem himself.
