SYNOPSIS

Amadeo, a shy but extremely skilled kid, will leave behind the safety of his life behind the control of his favorite videogame to manage a team of lunatics ready to recover their town and, above all, their dignity. El Capi, a 20-centimeter and lead-forged orthodox in questions of football and life in general will go his own way. The wisdom of such a leader as him will be challenged when he decides to leave his place of origin and to face a new world, where soccer codes do not necessarily work all the time.
