The story

August 1, 2004, Asunción, Paraguay. Sunday, noon, a fire in a supermarket that presumably breaks out in the food court, leaves a balance of 400 dead and 500 injured. Survivors and witnesses affirm that the doors were intentionally closed so that customers would not leave without paying. The film follows the trials of the main defendants. The testimonies of victims and of the main actors in the trial are intertwined with the testimonies of the accused, little by little the social drama that Paraguay is experiencing is becoming evident.
