And it does so through a very particular narrator, Leo Fleet, who leads us to discover the lives of four children who try succeed: Francisco, Pelé, Isaías and Gastón. Their stories of struggle and overcoming waiver, shows us the key to success of Argentine football factory, but also its darker side: the exploitation suffered by some children at the hands of unscrupulous agents and of their own parents; extreme competitiveness that makes children run out, the radical commodification of a sport that promises fame and wealth to all and then delivering just a chosen few.
