- Synopsis
- Couple of talent football camps are organized and held in some cities in Iran, together with collaboration of the Spanish Football League, La Liga. The La Liga veteran football experts are to see, work and then select 17 boys between 11 to 13 who would be later dispatched to the prestigious football camps in Spain to complete the course and receive the diplomas. Plenty of boys from all around the country are willing to take part in these camps along with their families. Hopes and wishes of many of these families rest on this opportunity. Despite coming from different cultural backgrounds, they all think of football similarly: a launch pad that secures the future of their family. Parents hope for their children to go to Spain or other European countries and being recruited by a professional football clubs in near future, just to change the economic and social situations of their families. The boys, on the other hand, can already imagine themselves as football stars, although they have never been abroad and obtaining even a Schengen Visa could be a source of trouble for them as well.
