Two Cuban boys on the marginal edge of society fight to lead a life together. But it's hard for both: one has to work for his girlfriend’s father, who is a loan shark. The other prostitutes himself in the streets to care for his family's needs. In an island where baseball was king, soccer seems to be the only way to escape.
