Argentina, 1978. A brutal military junta has suspended civil liberties for anyone who opposes it. Distraught, mothers of 'The 'Disappeared' parade daily in front of the capital building. In retaliation, violent acts of terrorism shatter what is left of normal life. Only one thing can unite all the people in the nation and the world: the World Cup of football.
