México 71

2023 · 65 min

A warm, bittersweet documentary that turns a forgotten sports story into a lively and moving tribute.

Overview: In 1971, a group of Argentine soccer players traveled to Mexico to represent their country for the first time in a World Cup. After the false promises of a businessman, when they arrive at their destination they discover that they are alone, without boots, without shirts and without a technical director. By dint of goals and personality they became the favorites of the Mexican public and today make up one of the main and forgotten pages in the history of Argentine football.
