SYNOPSIS A neighborhood football field. Rana and his team feel humiliated by the Brazilians from the neighboring area, who have been beating them for a long time. But today, they can’t afford to lose—especially not in front of Alba, Rana’s ex. They take the field for a five-a-side match where everyone has something against everyone. This is the perfect opportunity for the boys from Polígono X to finally do what they’ve been waiting for: kick the Brazilians out of their neighborhood.
