From Brazil to Argentina

What can a delayed business trip, a small town in Bangladesh, and a black-and-white television have in common?

Far from home and determined not to miss the tournament, Amin joins a group of strangers gathered around a small black-and-white television. What begins as an ordinary evening soon becomes a life-changing experience.

A lifelong supporter of Brazil at the time, Amin is devastated by Brazil's dramatic elimination from the tournament. Yet as the World Cup unfolds, he becomes captivated by the extraordinary brilliance of Diego Maradona and Argentina. What starts as admiration gradually transforms into a deep and lasting passion for a new team.
