MOVIE DETAILS

Beto and Tato Verdusco are brothers and they work at a banana plantation. They also play soccer for the village team. Nicknamed “Tough” because of his personality and football style, Beto dreams of becoming a professional soccer player; Tato’s dream is to be a famous singer, and both share the dream of building a house for their mother, Elvira. They have a change in luck when “Batuta”, a soccer talent scout, discovers them accidentally. Tato is the first to move to the big city where he becomes the star goal scorer for the prestigious Deportivo Amaranto where his baroque playing style earns him the nickname of “Corny”.  Beto feels he has been betrayed, although not long after he becomes the goalkeeper for Atlético Nopaleros. Right at the peak of glory, they forget all animosity, although it does not last long. At the very real possibility of fulfilling all their dreams, the siblings must face an innate rivalry as well as their own demons and limitations. Beto is a gambler and allows his addiction to drag him down; Tato is unable to recognize his true talents and squanders every opportunity by pursuing a false idea of celebrity and status. The dream seems to slip through their fingers. And it is at their worst moment that the brothers find forgiveness trying to help each other while casting headlong towards their individual destiny.
