Amadeo lives in a small, unknown village. He works in a bar, plays foosball better than anyone and is in love with Lara, although she doesn’t know it. His simple daily routine collapses down when Ace, a young man from his town becomes the best football player in the world. One day, he returns back to his hometown ready to take revenge because he was once defeated at foosball by Amadeo. Having his foosball table, his bar and even his soul destroyed, Amadeo discovers something magic: the players of his beloved foosball table can talk! Together, they will take an adventurous journey in order to save Lara, the village and become a competitive and proper football team. But, are there miracles in football?
