The Mexican defender recounts wins and losses in the world of football and beyond, revealing an intimate look into his dreams, detours and determination.

From a very young age, Hugo Sánchez made it clear that he had come into this world to aim high. By winning his first professional soccer scoring title during the 1978–79 season, he set a new standard in the world of professional soccer. Hugo Sánchez defined an era, scoring every kind of goal imaginable; his career with Real Madrid is the stuff of legend. Here, at last, is a golden opportunity to witness the unfolding of that legend, time and time again.

A view of the end-of-the-century Mexican family. A father who comes back home after a long absence, but who would rather be somewhere else. A daughter suffering from a trapped pain. A son full of guilt and recriminations. A little kid who soaks up all the tension in the house, like a sponge, and a self-effacing mother who would like to go away and leave everything behind.

A teenager and her father struggle for justice after she is sexually assaulted by the scion of a successful businessman. Not only will the father and daughter have to navigate a failed judicial system, but they must also contend with a wealthy adversary bent on using all his power to protect his son.
