Home Team (2017)
This story follows an adolescent soccer prodigy poised for big-league success—so long as his hubris doesn’t get in the way. Everyone knows Tito is a whiz on the field, but his father insists he place equal emphasis on his studies. That balance topples, however, once an agent pegs Tito as a major talent and convinces the family to uproot from their rural Nogales home and relocate to Montevideo. Will Tito fulfill his dream? Or will his focus on soccer, to the detriment of everything else, sabotage his goals? Based on the Latin American best-seller by former soccer player Daniel Baldi.
