The film follows five English freestyle footballers as they try to raise money by showcasing their skills, in order to fund a trip to Buenos Aires to meet their idol Diego Maradona.
In order of appearance, they are Paul Wood (nicknamed Woody), Danny Robinson, Mikey Fisher, Jeremy Lynch, and Sami Hall.
The freestylers fly to the United States to raise money for their trips across North America, firstly to perform on the streets of New York, as well as famous landmarks such as Times Square and Central Park.
He strikes out on his own, making money off-screen, as well as performing at a bar, where he earns enough to buy a plane ticket to Buenos Aires.
Hall and Wood stay overnight with a Guatemalan family, and travel across the country in a back of a pickup truck in order to get to La Aurora International Airport, where the duo fly to Rio de Janeiro.
Their freestyling draws a steady crowd of people, they meet Daniel Arccuci, a journalist for La Nación,[a] and are photographed for a newspaper article written about them.
After the broadcast, presenter Germán Paoloski tells Fisher that Maradona was sleeping as he was set to fly out to Peru that evening, and Wood is clearly distraught having heard this news.
[2] Laura Bushell of the BBC commended the Turner brothers' direction, as that without narration or on-screen input resulted in "a film that's not so much about football but about having a dream and summoning the drive and passion to pursue it".
David Gritten of the Daily Telegraph, wrote that "the story's climax in Buenos Aires is unexpected, yet many scenes resemble staged reality TV moments: group hugs, tears, mumbled monologues about overcoming obstacles",[5] while Time Out's David Jenkins awarded the film 2 out of 5 stars, stating that the "teary-eyed conclusion is clearly intended to have you punching the air in elation, but the message it delivers will actually leave you feeling quite cold.
