There he meets a veteran journalist and editor Saul Faúndez, who moves comfortably between corpses and blood. Alfonso at the beginning refuses to accept the doubtful morals of his boss, who accepts without question the facts of everyday life. But gradually Alfonso starts to discover the city with new eyes, its people and the harsh reality of work and life that permits him to begin to understand better the cynical Faúndez view of life, who has nicknamed Alfonso as 'Varguitas' (referring to Vargas Llosa). Red Ink is also a great look at the current Lima and its contradictions.

The film with a deep critical view focuses on the death of the "Slave", a weak cadet abused by his peers. The confusing incident which caused the tragedy unfolds a cast of characters that represent different members of society.
