After their fathers death, two brothers dispute the inheritance: the local movie theater known as Linterna Mújica. Their dispute may or not bring the town to its apocalypse, but it will for sure turn it upside-down.

A mother moves into a new house with her two children. One night she must leave the siblings home alone. What begins as a blast of carefree play soon turns into a claustrophobic horror story.
