In the gritty streets of Mexico City, where shadows dance with danger, Patada de Mula, a once-legendary boxer now haunted by his past, seeks redemption. Retired after a tragic fight that claimed his opponent's life, Patada finds solace in humble acts—working as a masseur in a gym and selling balloons on weekends. Yet, every peso he earns secretly supports the widow and son of the man he unintentionally killed. The boy, known as El Kid, is an ambitious young fighter unaware of Patada's quiet benevolence. Meanwhile, Patada's heart yearns for Marga, the bright-eyed neighbor ensnared in a web of deceit and exploitation by the ruthless gangster Duque and her own father. As an anonymous lover, Patada's letters offer her a glimmer of hope amidst her struggles. But fate twists cruelly as El Kid, under Duque's mentorship, harbors a seething hatred for Patada. When El Kid's world unravels, and his mother reveals the truth of Patada's sacrifices, a poignant moment of forgiveness emerges. Together, they forge a powerful alliance, determined to face the relentless challenges ahead.
