The highlight of the movie results to be the Spectacular and moving final sporting confrontation at a Mexican stadium . It stars the likeable child Oscar Casas who provides a nice acting in spite of his short age. Damian Bichir plays a stiff coach who must teach the rebel children to play well against an adult team.Antonio Resines plays a grandfather who advises and helps Ivan in his aims.
