When Competition Goes Too Far

It's finally summer, which means that Juan and his family will be moving to their house by the lake. Juan will spend the whole summer swimming, fishing and, best of all, having fun with his friends Enrique, Martín, Ana and Sonia. When the three friends get together they usually play what they like best: challenging each other. It is a game of challenges and competition that turns the loser into a chicken. Although the game always starts out harmless, and even somewhat absurd, it soon turns into dangerous and competitive fun. Juan never turns down a challenge, even if it means doing risky things, and even less so if he plays fearlessly with his friends. He thinks what might happen to him is that he will be called a chicken all summer long for not being able to meet a challenge. But that will soon change. What will happen when, because of a dare, these friends find themselves in a complicated situation? During this summer, they will take the competition too far without thinking about the consequences.
