Synopsis in English

Firearms are part of the daily life of 14-year-old Tavo, a member of the Ayahualtempa Community Police, in Mexico. The line between games and weapons has been completely erased. They spend their days shooting, and the only time they drop their guns is when they are playing basketball. In this indigenous town threatened by a criminal group that wants to take control of the lands, children watching over the safety of their community is a day-to-day reality.
