Hammurabi tells the story of Vitão, a boy who works as a delivery boy. Outraged by the poor working conditions, Vitão decides to steal one of the deliveries from the Arab restaurant Hammurabi. This seemingly simple robbery triggers a chain reaction when a dealer receives a message to fetch packages of drugs from the same building as Vitão. Due to a simple typo, the dealer ends up going to Vitão’s apartment and putting the boy in the middle of a much bigger mess than he could have imagined.
