Written by Hernán Casciari and directed by Gustavo Cova, it tells the story of this kid who discovers he has the power to stop time and argues with a ball that reminds him of all the challenges he has ahead. With a combination of animated sequences created by Liniers, archival footage, and interviews with his friends, family, and teammates, it is a tender and brave account of how his inner strength led him to achieve glory, becoming an inspiration for new generations.
