Synopsis

How far does a soccer fan goes for his beloved national team?
Mariano Cárdenas (Adrian Uribe), a married man and public employee, shows us that crossing the limits when supporting the national team it’s a must.
Mexico and the USA are in the final qualifying match for the 2018 World Cup. Mariano is committed to give everything he has, including his time and relationship with his wife, to be present in the game because he is convinced that his presence in the stadium is the only thing that guarantees the triumph.
Everything is ready and organized for the big day. Unfortunately the plans change when Mariano learns of the death of his uncle, with whom he shared the house and with whom he had made a big bet on the team.
Mariano is torn between being at the funeral or escaping to accompany the team. Thanks to the decision he makes, he loses his job, woman, home but his heart will be full as Mexico qualifies for the World Cup!
