Ventitré calciatori sudamericani sbarcano in Italia. Li guida il goleador che disse no ai generali d'Argentina. Inseguono la fortuna nel paese dei loro avi.
Summer 2001. Twenty-three young Argentinean and Uruguayan soccer players arrived in Italy: they will all join a small soccer club team, the "U. S. Fiorenzuola", without no problem of nationality because they have all Italian passport. The coach is Mario Kempes. The film follow the 52 days of the young players waiting to play in the Italian Championship. Among promises and hopes, enthusiasm and extenuating waiting revealing a bizarre facet of the soccer "made in Italy" but also the romantic aspect that bring a group of boys overseas following the dream of their lives to play in the land of their ancestors. A document on soccer, on certain aspects that in a stadium tribune is very difficult to observe. A document on return emigration, on the circularity of the history, on human beings that generations through generations carry on crossing the Atlantic in search of a better life.
