Sleazy third division football agent Javi comes across football-hating physician Diego Garrido (forced to pose as an agent and to travel from Argentina to Madrid), uneasily joining forces to manage the affairs of 17-year-old Argentine football prodigy Gustavo César. [2] [3] [4]
Football personalities Iker Casillas, Martín Palermo, José Ramón de la Morena, Manolo Esteban, and Manuel Llorente feature in cameo roles. [3]
