12-​year-​old Maxi walks and sways his hips, high on life, laugh­ing and jok­ing with his play­mates. Like any di­va he has a wardrobe to die for -​ an as­sort­ment of san­dals, shorts and shirts in ev­ery colour imag­in­able. His mum has passed away and his dad and broth­ers, who are de­vout Catholics, have turned to steal­ing mo­bile phones to earn a bet­ter liv­ing. Maxi cooks, cleans and sews for them and is their al­i­bi when things go wrong. How­ev­er it all be­comes com­pli­cat­ed when he meets and falls for an un­bribeable, by-​the-​book rook­ie cop, Vic­tor – which spells dis­as­ter for the fam­i­ly op­er­a­tions.
