Desiring the impossible is a dangerous feeling. The path is something mandatory, you have to fight. Despair leads us through fatal shortcuts. But, what if the only way to achieve our dreams is to commit a crime? Would we be able to do it? Like any criminal, Lucia and Pipo believe they have committed the perfect crime. For a long time, they think they are living the dream of a happy family with their three kids until death comes to life. The family album hides ghosts that no one imagines. Sometimes, when you want to erase a crime, you need to commit one. Welcome to the Lobo family.[1]
