Mexico 86

Not all goals are scored on the field.

A spirited historical comedy about ambition and cunning in 1980s Mexico, where a bureaucrat's audacious con to secure the World Cup becomes a meditation on the costs of victory.

When a last-minute chance to host the 1986 World Cup appears, a cunning Mexican bureaucrat, armed with nothing but guts and audacity, cons his way through FIFA to beat the United States, but in a country of power games, every victory has a price.
