Directed by Emilio Salomón

Lima, Peru, end of the '70s. Chito and Zambo, two sacrilegious thieves prepare, at the request of a dealer, the theft of a church, but they need Juan to deactivate the alarm. They propose to him to do the work, but this one has left the delinquency because now it is married and Rosa, his wife, pregnant. The situation for the couple is desperate and Rosa, surprisingly encourages Juan to accept the job. The theft is consummated, and they carry "the order" to the dealer who has prepared a trap. Out of clumsiness, they kill Chito, who is treated by the drug dealer as a "bundle", with frightening coldness. Zambo and Juan manage to flee. Juan returns home with some of the booty in his hand, but the underworld has its own rules, from which no one is safe.
