La primavera invencible — Zenit is a young carpenter and skateboarder who, together with his friends Isla and Mosca, founds the first skate park in Guatemala City. After just one week, the park is set on fire. The friends fight to rebuild the park while facing their own demons, which puts their friendship to the test. In the process, they dismantle a corrupt system —that has been entrenched for decades— which the new generation decides to challenge in order to reclaim the space that belongs to them.
