The film tells the story of Maxi (Maximiliano Martínez), a promising young footballer who lives in the jungle of Misiones, Argentina, and is harbouring a secret: he is in love with his friend Julián. When an Italian talent scout, played by Neapolitan actor Vincenzo Nemolato, and an experienced scout, portrayed by Spain’s Carlos Bardem, arrive on the scene, Maxi finds himself torn between pursuing his dream of becoming a professional footballer and remaining true to himself and his identity. It is a decision that could change his life forever.

DIRECTORS’ NOTES:
This film was born of a question, a concern that hovered over us for a long time: how is it possible that there are no active professional footballers who have come out as gay? Rather than trying to answer it, we decided to tell this story.
The movie is set in Misiones, a region where nature imposes its own rhythm on life. The rivers, the red earth and the vegetation seem to exist apart from the rest of the world, as though they had preserved a state of freedom that is becoming increasingly difficult to find. In this landscape, we encounter Maxi, a boy who lives as naturally as a fish in water, until the arrival of the football business begins to disrupt that balance. Football emerges not only as the promise of a future, but also as a force capable of shaping identities, imposing silence and determining how a person is allowed to exist in the world.
