내일이면 오면 과테말라를 떠나는 올리베리오. 그의 친구 파우스토와 아우구스토와 함께 열정적인 마지막밤을 보내기 위해 과테말라의 보헤미안 파라다이스로 불리는 안티구아로 향한다. 그들에게 주어진 12시간. 매력적인 바람둥이 파우스토는 제네비에브를 만나고, 올리베리오와 아구스토는 신비로운 여인 아그네스에 동시에 빠져들게 된다. 짧고 열정적인 밤을 함께 하게 된 그들은 우정, 미래, 사랑을 놓고 고민하기 시작하게 되는데...

In Guatemala, violence is contagious. The neighbors of Villas de La Esperanza, in fear of an eventual invasion of those infected by violence, arm themselves and patrol nights, risking their lives for the safety of their families. But battling violence with violence only spreads the contagion, and the neighbors will realise that the greatest danger is not what lurks outside their secure gated community. The real danger lies within. In Guatemala violence is contagious, and we are all infected.

A young woman is brutally assaulted by gang members in the middle of Guatemala City. As usual, the authorities have no suspects or leads, leaving the girl to become one more victim in a society where thousands of women are assaulted every year. Jacobo, the victim's brother, along with Antonio, his best friend, decide in their frustration to extract some their kind of revenge.

LENCHO, a 30-year-old artist and graffiti writer, is back in Guatemala after living a decade in New York. Eager to bring artistic expression to his home country silenced by over 30 years of terror, Lencho assembles a collective of artists to produce public art projects of social impact. As its first activity, the group organizes an art festival in Rabinal, a small, indigenous village in the Guatemalan highlands. The group's work comes of interest to the director of a secret "social cleansing" program of the national police designed to quash dissension and organizing among the youth. As Lencho labors to coordinate the music, poetry and muralism components of the festival, he finds himself increasingly haunted by memories of the death of his father, a journalist during the civil war. "El Regreso de Lencho" portrays one man's journey to self-knowledge and action: can Guatemala do the same?
