The journey is the reward
Overview
Tito is 13 years old and extremely gifted at soccer, his genius brings him a contract that lifts him and his family out of poverty. He shines with his goals, but turns into a petty player, drops out of school, and has no friends. Tito becomes the breadwinner of the family and his father no longer has the authority to force him to finish school. When Tito is one step away from consecrating himself, something unexpected will make his dream disappear. Having lost everything he must return to his village. Tito will have to face the most difficult challenge of his life: to stand up and keep going.
