The film tells the story of Carlitos, an orphaned boy who has always wanted two things more than anything else: to be adopted by a family and to become a soccer player. To achieve this, he will have to overcome numerous obstacles, such as Don Hipólito, the director of the orphanage where he lives, who hates sports. But he will also have the support of his friends Trampas, Seta, and Flaca, who will help him make his dream come true. In the end, he joins Spain’s children’s national soccer team and is adopted by Diego and Maite. Its producer, Emilio Aragón, describes the film as “a heartwarming movie, an opportunity to go to the cinema with the little ones and enjoy it with them, sharing their dreams and understanding their fears. It is an effort to show ourselves that family cinema is necessary.”
