Plot

'Diecisiete' follows a seventeen-year-old boy, Héctor, who has been at a youth detention center for two years. As part of reintegration therapy, he is sent to an animal rescue center, where he befriends Oveja, a dog as shy and elusive as he is. 

When the dog, Oveja, is adopted, Héctor runs away to find him. His elder brother Ismael accompanies him as he doesn't want Héctor to get in trouble. Héctor is two days away from turning 18 and if caught after that, he will be sent to jail instead of the reformatory.
