Plot

Lauro (Fernández) is a thief who, while escaping from one of his robberies, meets a boy named Chava (Brambila), who is as much of a rogue as he is. Upon arriving in Mexico City they decide to work and live together. They move to a barber shop where Chava begins teaching Lauro to read. After Lauro is apprehended for his crimes, and while visiting him in jail, Chava reveals that he is actually a female. Years later, after Lauro leaves prison, he meets the already adult Chava (Medina), and they decide to steal as before, with her disguised as a male. As time passes, they both fall in love and one day they kiss. However, a group of drunks see them, and due to Chava's disguise, confuses them for a homosexual couple, and they attack them violently, pummeling Lauro and stabbing Chava. The film ends with an injured Lauro carrying the already dead Chava in his arms as another child tried to join him. Lauro leaves, not wanting to expose another person to death once more.
