Story about life of inhabitants of small villages in Columbian jungle, seen through the eyes of a child. A 9 year old Manuel plays football everyday with an old ball. He wants to be a famous goalkeeper. When Manuel becomes a new ball for his birthday, he starts to believe, that his dreams will become reality…  Carlos César Arbeláez debut film doesn’t explain the complexities of Columbian conflict, instead it focuses on the drama of civilians. Taking the point of view of a boy, the director opposes the world of children with the irrational adults world.
