A stolen jersey, a broken father, and the hand of God.
During the 1986 World Cup in Mexico, in the legendary match between Argentina and England, Diego Maradona scored two unforgettable goals in a game that meant more than sport for a nation scarred by the Falklands War. Decades later, when the jersey he used in the match is auctioned, a humble kit man shaped by profound loss sets out on a final journey that forces him to confront his past and his broken relationship with his daughter.

Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
The actual 'Hand of God' jersey sold for $9.3 million in 2022—this film was already in production, making its timing almost prophetically awkward.
The Falklands War subtext isn't decoration; for Argentines, that 1986 match was unofficial national revenge, and the film knows you're either with Maradona or you're English.
