[Soft music]

[Rising tension music]

Good afternoon, everyone.
We are less than twenty-four hours away

from a historic match:

Argentina and England,

for the quarter-finals of the 1986 World Cup.

[Epic music] [Paper rustling]

[Piano chord]

[In English] There will be tension on their side

[In English] because they lost the war.

[In English] We won it, so
there's no tension on our side.

[In English] We are the kings! [Cheering]

Revenge for our sons.

[Cheering]

[Boots]

[Cheering]

[Epic music]

Amid the fervor, the Argentine national team tries to
minimize its disadvantages against its rival.

Due to the high temperatures in Mexico,
a last-minute decision is made:
[Epic music]

To replace their away jersey with a lighter one.
[Epic music]

[Man 1] Are you filming?
Come on, get closer.

[Man 2] -No, this is fine.
[Man 1] -Come closer,

[Man 1] come here, let me show you
the jersey.

Against the clock, they manage to get generic jerseys
[Epic music]

The numbers are applied by hand in a makeshift way.
[Epic music]

The crest is sewn on by hand.
[Epic music]

[Man 1] One day before the match,
at six in the afternoon,

[Man 1] the women are sewing it,

[Man 1] What a beautiful jersey.

[Man 1] If we become
world champions...

[Man 1] ...I don't know, they'll have to
build a monument to all of us.

[Epic music]

June 22, 1986. Argentina vs. England.
The most important match in football history begins.

[Commentator] -It goes to Maradona,
Maradona looks for Enrique

[Commentator] -Always Maradona,
he dribbles,

[Commentator] -he goes, he goes past three,

[Commentator] -Always Diego.
Genius, genius, genius.

[Commentator] -He plays it to Valdano,

[Commentator] -Maradona came in
with goalkeeper Shilton...

[Euphoric crowd cheering]
[Commentator] Goal!

[Euphoric crowd cheering]
[Commentator] He does it with his hand...

[Commentator] -There's Maradona,
marked by two,

[Commentator] -Maradona steps on the ball,

[Commentator] -...world football

[Commentator] -Diego always...

[Commentator] Genius, Genius, Go...Go...Go [Screams]

[Euphoric crowd cheering]

[Commentator] Goooal! Goal!

[Commentator] Goooal! Goal!

[Euphoric crowd cheering]

[Commentator] [Distant voice]

[Drum beat]
[Euphoric crowd cheering]

[Commentator] [Distant voice]

[Tense music]

No, Diego...

...no!

[Commentator] -I'm going to say this just once
and may God forgive me

[Commentator] because it's not a cheap shot.

[Commentator] For all the young men
who cannot shout this victory.

Argentina, two;

England, one.

[Tense music]

36 years later. November 2022.
Just days before the start of the Qatar World Cup.

[Man] The thing is I had the number
memorized. That's all.

[Man] That's it. Well, it seems
I gradually forgot it, right?

[Man] But is that his house?...
He lives there, doesn't he?

[Man] Yes.

[Man] It's Maradona's house,
he lives there, doesn't he?

[End beep]

[End beep]

What's going on?

The Jersey of God.

[Cheerful music]

[Manual pump]

Stand C

[Cheerful music fading]

[Murmurs] [Ball sound]

[Coach] We're going to have
chances to counter-attack,

If idiots could fly,
this club would be an airport

Don't mess with the Genius.
Can't you see it's early?

[Coach] -With ball control.

I'm going to have a heart attack. It's always burning.

[Coach] We're going to change the formation

[Coach] Instead of four, three, three,

[Coach] we're going to play,

[Coach] four, three, two, one. Okay?

Is that maths or football?

But don't bunch up, because if you bunch up,

we lose width.

[Coach] If you listen to me,
we're going to be champions.

[Cheerful music]

[Swimmer enters the water]

[Cheerful music continues]

[Door slamming]

[Buzzing] [Woman] -Hello?... Turn it off, Pipo.

[Woman] -Hello?
[Man] -Hello?

[Woman] -Hello.
[Man] -Sorry to bother you.

[Man] -...Uh, no, I'm not sure
I have it right because I get, I get,

[Man] -confused with
some phone numbers.

[Man] -Is this Diego
Maradona's house, right?

-[Voice on phone] Titi?

[Man] -Yes.

[Man] -Is Diego there? Who's speaking?

Your daughter, Titi.

Are you kidding me?

[Laughing]

You fell for it, sweetheart. You fell for it, didn't you?

I'm working, Titi.

-[Laughing]

[Background traffic]

[Background traffic] You're saying he called you
to play a prank on you?

Yes.

Cata, come here, come help.

No, because I thought
he was calling to tell you that

he found out about
Maradona's jersey.

[Cata] What's a jersey?

A shirt,
a football shirt.

[Man] Well,

[Man] -he didn't see the news.

[Man] -And no, honestly, I don't know...

[Woman] No, I didn't dare bring it up with him.

[Chairs being arranged]

[Man] And how many are we going to be in the end?

No idea.
A lot of them haven't replied,

others have left me on read and
said nothing. I don't know.

-Ah.
-No, no, no, wait, wait, wait,

wait, wait, I'll handle it.
Don't worry.

I love you. [Kisses] Calm down.

Go and tell the boys that if they want
to skip the boarding house food,

come eat at the grill.

[Man] -Varelita.

I know, Erica told me.

Three drops of rain and the whole place fills with damp.

Your wife sent me
quite a sharp message, didn't she?

What do you want me to do about it?

I'm trying to bring in a plumber
and the committee won't authorize it.

If you want I'll send the maintenance guy.

Him?... No, it's fine.
Thanks, but no.

[Sighing] Your father-in-law has completed
a cycle at the club.

He retired fifteen years ago.

We even kept hiring him.
We've been quite decent about it.

It can't be that nothing
can be done for him.

He gave his life to this club.

And my father left me a club
full of debt,

and almost empty of members.
Look at this place?

There's nobody here.

The boys are here.

Ah, the boys.
The only ones playing football,

there on the back pitch,
are the scholarship kids

who don't even pay.

Great deal.

It's a dinosaur. A dinosaur,

a lost cause. [Waves] Hello, how are you?

But Erica understands that.

No, neither you nor Erica understand anything.

All of this is going to be torn down.

This stand won't be here anymore.

Who?

The committee wants to sell
and build towers,

We're in the red.
We need money coming in.

But what about the boys?

I love them, they're wonderful.

-And I bring Italian scouts to buy them.
-Varelita,

[Man] -Varelita,

it would kill the old man if you took him out of the club.

Oh, please, Titi's doors at the club
are always open,

He can watch
as many matches as he wants,

have a barbecue,

but the truth is all of this is going to go.

Well, listen to me,

We're celebrating his
eightieth birthday.

Why don't you come? You can say hello to him,

and explain it to him yourself.

Eh, now that I remember,

there's a referees' meeting
in the grill,

so it's going to be occupied.
I'd say set up some

trestle tables, some sawhorses
and find a nice spot,

because this place is going to be taken.

And I ask you, please,
talk to Erica and your father-in-law,

because that is going to be demolished,
[Cheerful music] you understand?

There's no going back. Bye.

[Background traffic] [Cheerful music]

Hey? Didn't you see I was going to park there?

What are you doing with your hand, you moron?

Hey, hey, hey. What an idiot.

What an idiot.

-Oh, come on.
-Hold on, hold on, hold on.

[Woman in French] Calm down. Honestly,

[Woman in French] Over a
parking spot, calm down.

Hey, you idiot, didn't you see I was
going to park there?

-No.
-Pato Di Pietro,

you son of a...

-Come here.
-What are you doing? Long time no see.

-What did you think, that I wasn't going to come?
-Yeah, I thought you weren't going to come.

-No.
-[They laugh] How long has it been?

-[Soft music] Hello. We're with Titi's party.
-I know you.

-Patricio.
-Ah.

Pato. My wife, she...
Let me introduce you to my wines.

How are you?

No, I don't remember
your name, but,

I never forgot you.

Don't worry,
she doesn't speak Spanish.

I intercepted you here because it was going to be in the
grill, but now it's moved to the back.

Ah, Ricky's outside.

He's a bit hopeless
finding a parking spot,

but well, we forgive him. [They laugh]

[French accent] -Husband parking.

-She learned Spanish fast.
-She's not your wife.

Are you still interested in my marital status?

It's just I don't know who you are,
I was never interested.

I brought wines. It's in the back? Great.

[Cheerful music]

[Titi] Leave the little ball,
the dummy will pick it up anyway.

-[Shouting] Titi!
-Hey!

You need to shower.
There's a birthday party soon.

Whose birthday is it?

[Shouting] Yours, whose birthday is it?

Why are you shouting?

-What?
-Why are you shouting?

Because we're far away.

[Cheerful music]

Watch out here, it's a bit wet,
don't slip.

Hi.

-How's it going?
-Have you seen Cata?

Hi.

-Say hello!
[In French] -My love.

Eri, are there napkins?

One more who can't come.
That's eight now.

-Oh.
-Status has its obligations.

[Mumbles] -But I'm...
-Have you had your medical check-up?

-[Laughing]
-Huh?

You two were always together.
Now I remember.

-Yes, yes, yes.
-Now you're coming back to me.

I thought you were going to end up in prison.

-[Laughing]

You know I forgot the napkins,
I didn't bring them.

No worries, I forgot my swimsuit.

Hey, sweetheart, can you go to the bar?

And bring us some napkins, please.

-Should I nick them?
-No, if it's open, you buy them.

-What if it's closed?
-You nick them.

Do you want me to go buy?
Me, napkins?...

No, better go with her
because she disappears in the club.

-Alright.
- Ah.

I thought there was no way he'd come.

Me neither.

Uhh. [Door closing]
It's closed.

And the girl?

[Knocking] Can you hear? Did you hear that?

Look. Look at the dorky face you had.
[They laugh]

But look at what I look like...
[Laughs] How are things, your life?

Dissatisfaction, meaningless anguish,
lack of purpose, an insipid world,

-pathetic-
-Mmm.

-Without values.
-No.

A world,

-more unjust every day. You?
-Fine.

You were always a chronic optimist.

We were born in an era
of a crappy world,

but luckily
we're Generation X, right?

And on top of that we get blamed for everything.

[Door]

[Knocking]

[Groans]
Cacho, do you have to knock right now?

Sorry, Titi. Marianita sent me.
I'm looking for the leak.

-What circuit breaker?
-The leak...

Ah.

[Knocking]

[Reporter] -Anticipation over the auction of
another Diego Maradona relic.

The auction will be handled
by a renowned,

auction house
in the city of London.

How much money could be paid for this
legendary blue jersey worn by the

Argentine star in the famous match against
England in Mexico 86, where he scored

two goals:
the Hand of God and the Goal of the Century.

[Knocking]

[Crowd celebrating]

[Tense music]

-Can you stop?

[Tense music]

[Tense music cuts off]

[Flapping]

-Shall we go?
-Where to?

To hell with it.

-Erica.
-Ah.

-We stayed looking at photos.
-And Cata?

We lost her.

-She vanished right here, I swear.
-No, yeah, I know. She disappears like that.

-And the birthday girl? Has she arrived?
-No, I sent Kevin to get her.

-Did you see the photo of my brother?
-Yes.

He was just a boy. [Clicks tongue]

[Melancholic music]

-What a bloody awful war,

-right?
-Hey!

Oh!

Titi, Titi. Titi, Titi, Titi. Titi,

Tiri, Ti, Titi, Titi, Titi, Titi, Titi,
Tiri, Tiriti, Ti, Tiriti, Ti, Tiri. [They laugh]

Ricardo!

-Ricky Crespo.
-Hey, what are you doing here?

What do you mean what am I doing here, Titi?
I came for your birthday.

-Look how big you've gotten.
-Are you calling me old?

-You old fool.
-[Laughs]

He definitely remembers me, right?
I'm unforgettable.

More than unforgettable, unbearable.
Pain in the neck, son of a gun, brat.

-He recognized you, didn't he?
-Yes.

[Footsteps]

[Cumbia music]

Are you alright, Titi?

And your daughter?

She must be around somewhere,
probably setting something on fire.

-[Laughs]
-Here, wait.

-There she is.
-That fool is in love with her.

-Happy birthday, Titi.
-Happy birthday, Titi.

[They laugh]

[Singing in French]
-You sing the song, don't you?

[In French] -it's your birthday.
-What does she say?

I don't speak French.

[Laughs]

[French accent] -He always talks about you.
Always.

[French accent] Like a father, you know?
He says many things. Don't you, dear?

-Yes, he was like a father, wasn't he?
-Who?

Your father was like a father to us.

We took a plane trip together,

Do you remember?

-Was it to Rosario?
-Yes, yes, Rosario.

Did you know?

No.

No. He spent more time with you guys

than with me. [They laugh]

He was so scared... "Don Titi held my hand".

[Laughs]
The look on your face when the plane took off,

God. Terrified and fascinated
at the same time.

-[Laughs]
-I've never seen anything like it.

[Laughs] He looked like Diego
when he scored with his hand

waiting for the
referee to say it was a goal.

-Yes. [They laugh]
-Terrified as hell.

[They laugh]

Are you ever going to pass it to me?

-You were always terrible with the ball.
-Come on, pass it to me.

-[Laughs]
-Hey! [They laugh]

-A joint, Titi?
-At my age I see things,

without smoking anything.

Keep the ball safe, don't kick it
just anywhere,

because I'm the one who
has to go fetch it.

Yes, yes, don't worry.

-How are we going to do in Qatar, Titi?
-Phew.

We have to become champions.

We haven't won a World Cup
in thirty-six years.

-We're not going to win this one either.
-Ugh! Titi, yellow card. Have some faith.

While that jersey
doesn't come back to Argentina,

we'll never lift
a World Cup ever again in our lives.

But what? Is there, is there
some kind of curse?

And why do you think
we haven't won a World Cup since '86?

-They're going to auction it, did you hear?
-It should be in Argentina,

like San Martín's sword.

Diego promised me we
were going to get it back. He swore it to me.

Well, Titi, we still made it to two finals.
We were close, we almost became champions.

Because Diego handed the shirt to
the Englishman. And I remember I told him: "No,

-kid, not to him, not to him". I yelled at him.
-Hey,

Titi, let's cut the cake!

Alright...

The only one who can get it back is Diego.

But the thing is I lost his
number. I mean, I lost it.

-Whose number?
-Diego's, whose else would it be? Whose?

He's gone, Titi.

Diego. No, no...

What do you mean Diego is gone? What happened?

Did Diego die?

[Crying] But, but
when did Diego die?

When? [Cries]

[Cries]

Diego?.

[Cries]

[Plane passing overhead]

[Singing] Happy birthday to you...

[Singing] Happy birthday to you...

Happy birthday, dear Titi,

Happy birthday to you!

[Applause]
-Make three wishes, Titi.

Uh,

-Breakfast, lunch and dinner.
-Hey! Come on!

Uh...

Birthday party for the boys,
everyone.

[Tense music]

[Rhythmic tense music]

[Whistle]

[Tense music] [Water sounds]

[Tense music] [Water sounds]

[Tense music] [Distant explosions]

Dad?

[Tension sound]

[Thud]

[Door opens]

Thank you.

Ischemic episode, something like that,

but it's transient.

Tomorrow he has to go get
a bunch of tests done.

-Do you need anything?
-No.

I'm grateful you all came, you know?

What a mess this whole thing is because

-you didn't even get to taste the cake. [Cries]
-No, no worries.

It's fine, it's fine, it's just that it got away from me because I can't control it.

[Cries]

[In French] If you need anything,
we, we…

-I don't understand a word, what's she saying?
-No, no, I don't know.

[Sighs] He's getting worse and worse.

And here at the club they're throwing him out
like a dog.

Members aren't coming in, they need to sell,
but I can't take him to my house,

because there's no room.

[Sighs] Ivette. Ivette.

I didn't understand a word of what you said,
but I love you too, you know?

-[In French] It's okay.
-It's okay, it's okay.

[Exhales]

He says that the news of the
jersey auction hit him hard, that that's it, that

only that... I don't know where he is.

-But does he know Maradona passed away?
-Yes, why?

He's obsessed with it.
Is he sleeping?

He's obsessed with it.
Is he sleeping?

I don't know.

He'd walk all the way there
to get that jersey if he could.

-Swim there.
-Thank you very much. Thanks. Thank you, doctor.

He says swim, because the shirt
is in England.

Well, if it's his dying wish, I'll go get it.

-Why dying?
-They say it's not Alzheimer's, but he is

losing his memory. They think he's had
several micro-strokes due to deterioration.

And they also say that if this starts
happening more and more frequently...

He's entering the penalty area.

-Have you got a light?
-Yes. Uh...

A light.

[Lighter]

[Classical music]

You know he sent about fifty
messages inviting boys from the

different generations. Not one replied.
Can you believe it? Give me a break.

No, how can they not come
to Titi's birthday?

Eighty years old, with everything that
guy did for us.

We humans are real pieces of work.

[French accent]
Their loss, right?

[French accent] Very wonderful,
wonderful people.

Wonderful. Wonderful.

Yes.

And the old man is so enthusiastic. At one point
he started talking about Maradona's jersey,

the one they're about to auction.

-I want to help him.
-Do you know the difference between a

-dreamer and an idiot?
-No.

None. Shall we toast? Hmm?

[Cheerful music]
[In Italian] This is what you

[In Italian] are looking for.
The promises.

Because Maradonas and Messis
spring up like weeds in this country.

[In Italian] -The number ten, who is he?
-Ah, the best. The best.

[Drums]

[Whistle] Goal! Goal!

We should help him
move into a small flat

close to the club.

He deserves

to spend his last days with dignity, right?
Maybe we could do a whip-round

-among all the generations.
-If they didn't come to the birthday,

are they going to put in money?

[Sighs]

[Background traffic]

Did he recognize us?

Did you see how he lit up when he started
talking about the jersey at the birthday?

-He seemed more alive.
-Hi.

- Hi.
- Hi.

Titi is in a bad way, Ricky.

What if we got it back ourselves?

[Cheerful music]

Even if we could,
which is impossible,

they're going to auction it
in less than a month.

What? What is that?

What do you mean what is it?
The jersey, Maradona's,

from '86.

That's not Maradona's jersey from '86.

It's a jersey
like Maradona's from '86.

Well, but does it pass or not.
I bought it last night online.

We rough it up a bit in the grass,
sweat it up and that's it.

That's it what?

That's it, Titi is happy,
the jersey is on Argentine soil.

He knows it's going to be auctioned.
He's not that out of it.

[Cheerful music]

Here again? You're too old
for me to give you lessons.

We came to visit you, Titi.
Churros?

-Put the kettle on. They're filled, right?
-Uh.

Go ahead.

The jersey should be
national heritage.

The AFA should go to London

and buy it at the auction.

The AFA.

Oh, yes, yes.

Uh, I have a friend at the AFA,
Big Ears Minetti. Yeah, I asked him

for a meeting to talk with some
member of the board of directors, I mean,

to deal with your father's situation.

Oh, great,
they're going to ask for a pension for life.

A special retirement allowance?

Well, that's also possible, yes, we
can ask for financial assistance, of course, yes, yes.

But sorry, and if that's not it, wh-what
were you planning to ask for?

-The repatriation.
-Of whom?

-Arranging the repatriation of the jersey.
-Let me see if... [Laughter]

I'm understanding this right.
Do you believe that

with the jersey, all
our problems with Titi

are going to be solved?

No, no, he believes it. He believes it. I, uh, I

told him the same thing. The old man is about
to get the boot. He might

end up in a nursing home eaten by rats
and he's going to end up hugging some

-crappy shirt.
-No, no, but what, but what are you

saying? No, it's not a
crappy shirt.

That jersey is a glory for this country and
for Titi it's unfinished business,

- right? He was part of it.
-And besides, if that's what he wants,

I'm fine with it. What can they do?

No, we don't need
a jersey.

Let's see if we can... I couldn't care less about the jersey. If you

have a contact at the AFA, what I'm asking,
for the love of God, is that you get us

some financial assistance,
which is what Titi needs

and what we can't give him, guys.

Uh,

yeah, yeah, we already talked about it and yeah,

we agreed that
we'll take it there. For, for that...

-Where? To whom?
-Where? To whom?

[Knocking]

They already told him to move out, right?

I don't know. You tell him.

Have I learned to swim yet, Varelita?

Hey! Can't you find out
where the water is coming from?

That's your job after all, man!

Why would they fix the leak
if they're going to knock the whole stand down anyway?

I heard you, uh...

your father would never have torn down
a piece of history. You? Huh?

Come on. Let's go.

[Dripping]

[Suspense music]

Because in the heart of that jersey lies
the soul of the Argentine people.

-Are we doing alright, Titi?
-It was going perfectly. Why the heck

did you interrupt me? Damn it.

-Because in the heart of that jersey
-Do you want to practise with us?

What's wrong with you? Did you hear me
asking for help?

No, no, no...

Alright.

Everything urgently and...

-...urgently.
-Here they come.

Sorry, it's a very complicated day.

If they don't eat now,
they won't get lunch.

But did you schedule the meeting
in the middle of lunch?

-Yes, it was that or nothing.
-Big Ears, come on.

Uh.

[Suspense music]

-Uh, well.
-Gentlemen from the AFA, uh...

[Door closing] There's a Jeep in
my garage, bloody hell.

[Keys clinking]

Sorry.

[Door closing]

We lost sons

in this war.

And when Diego,

handed over that jersey, with his good
will, it was like going back

[Swallows] again

to,

to losing our sons.

Uh,

I come to ask you

[Emotional music] for the repatriation
of that jersey,

because in the heart,

of that jersey, lies the soul of
the Argentine people.

Beneath

that crest

lies

the heart of all
the sons we lost.

So I ask you,

immediately,

immediately,

that jersey must come back to the country

where it belongs. That's all.

Well, uh, thank you very much, Malvi-- Titi,
uh, your words have moved us,

right? Uh, we're going to take the,
the, the request on board, okay?

-It's a very difficult thing.
-Yes.

That jersey is a gift
from one individual to another individual.

Exactly. It's not the property
of the AFA or FIFA.

But it should be national heritage
before they auction it.

Take it easy, Titi. We're going to put it
under consideration of the board.

You're not the only one who is interested
in recovering the jersey.

There are a lot of people,
especially now that it's up for auction.

Alright.

-This one couldn't care less.
-Thank you very much, gentlemen, right?

-Very kind of you.
-Thank you.

-The old man nearly made me cry.
-Yes, yes, yes.

He's one of those with real passion.

Yes, yes. Listen,

uh, they're raising funds
to participate in the auction.

The AFA has nothing to do with this.

There's a lot of money, millions of dollars.

It's tough, but well,
maybe perhaps

-something can be, can be achieved.
-Well, well, listen, Big Ears,

another thing I wanted to talk to you about,
the possibility of a lifetime pension.

-Ricky!
-No, no, no. Wait, wait, let me tell you.

He's been in this game fifty years.

He's eighty years old,

broke, no place to live,
in poor health.

Ricky, there's a queue of people
asking me for things like that.

-The thing is...
-I don't know, uh...

-But help me.
-Yes, but don't say anything, don't get his hopes up,

if I, if something comes to me, I'll,
I'll let you know, okay? If I can-- wait,

listen to me, Ricky. Uh,
do me a favour instead.

Uh, ask him to make a little video, okay?,

of, of everything he just
said.

-The same thing.
-The same thing, yes. Send me that video.

I'll send it to these people who are raising funds,

so they can include it with the bid paperwork.

Good, good.

-Does that sound right?
-Good.

-Send it today.
-Yes, yes, I'll send it today.

-Deal.
-Thanks.

-Today.
-Bye.

-Enjoy your meal, gentlemen.
-The little sandwiches were great.

Glad to hear it.

Old fool, your grandfather!

This is Diego's number.
Why is he playing dumb?

He doesn't want to answer me?
Tell him it's Titi,

the kit man for the '86 national team, that-

[Knocking at door]

[Door opening]

[Call ended tone]

And sometimes you don't look,

or you look just a little. And there's this kind
of sideways glance, where you,

kick the ball and you know where it's going to go,
even without looking.

Let's record it, go ahead.

Attention, everyone.

Or whoever, whoever is in possession

of the jersey of God.

I want to tell you, sir, that

you hold in your hands not only

a collector's item,
you hold in your hands,

a monument

Is Diego's jersey a monument?

Ah,

you've put me off now. Look.

-Can I ask you a question?
-What?

Did Diego die?

[Training shouts]

[Noise]

-How long are they going to keep doing that?
-They can't find the leak.

-They're following the whole pipe.
-Now they have to follow the pipe?

Well, Varelita sent them now.
He couldn't say no.

Titi, they found rotten beams,

-The whole thing could come down.
-The beams have been about to fall for a thousand years.

-Now they need to weld.
-Well, well, well, if I had room

at home, I'd take you there to keep an eye on you.

I'll set up alarms on your phone
so you

-take your medication, give it to me.
-Someone took the roll.

-Dad, this camera is ancient.
-Titi, you're a high-risk patient.

Pay attention to us, please.
What are you looking for?

The doctors already told me what I need
to take, okay? That's it.

Yes, but then you don't take them.
You forget. It's happened before.

-When did that happen?
-All the time, but you don't remember.

-Well, do a doping test on me.
[Kevin] -I'll remind you.

-Go on, Kevin, go. Thanks.
-Thank you, dear. You're a sweetheart.

And what are you thanking him for? The favour
is being done for me.

[Welding]

[Knocking]

I'm going to get the car, okay?

Can you not mistreat the people
who help you, Dad?

Why don't you go away calmly and leave
me alone? What are you afraid of?

I'm not going to report you
for abandonment, am I?

You, me?

Are you going to report me
for abandonment?

If you mistreat me, I won't come back.

Fine, do as you wish.

[Pause]

-Call Diego, okay? About the jersey.
-Which Diego?

How many Diegos are there?

Diego is dead, Dad!

[Sad music]

[Cries]

[Tension music]

[Capsules falling]

[Song] -Argentina is the best.
-Pablo...Pablo

[Song] World champions,
champions, yes sir.

[Song] Millions of Argentines,
one heart.

[Song] Argentina, yes sir,

[Song] Argentina is the best.
World champions,

[Song] champions, yes sir.
Millions of Argentines, one heart.

[Footsteps]

[Ovation]

- Come on, come on, come on, let’s go!
- Pablo.

[The door opens]

[Gunshots]

Pablo.

Pablito, your room is a total mess.
Go and sort it out, for God's sake.

I can't right now, Dad.
I'll do it later.

[Gunshots]

You always say: "I'll do it later".
You always say it and never do it. Go on,

-do it. How hard is it?
[Gunshots] -Enough, Dad, I'm busy.

Well, I'm busy too,
but stop nagging.

I'm warning you, I'll keep you from the Club for a week.

Come on, Pablo. Always
the same song and dance, please.

[Gunshots] -Enough, Dad.
-Alright, go on.

[Distant explosion]

[Dripping]

Why the heck do you want me
to connect with England?

-Do you remember the video you recorded?
-Yes.

Well, the AFA sent it to Sotheby's
and it ended up in Hodge's hands,

-and Hodge asked to speak with you.
-Really?

Yes, in ten minutes I need you talking
in front of this computer,

okay? Listen to me,

where's there good Wi-Fi?

Nowhere.

Oh well, come on.

[Pause] For God's sake, this Wi-Fi.
[Sighing] It's a London firm,

Hodge's lawyers are there.

There's, there's also someone from the
Argentine Embassy.

How is that possible? [Sighing] Hello,

Hello,

-can you hear me?
[In English] -Okay.

Hello, hello, [In English] Hello.

[In English] Online.

[In English] She is Gabriela Martínez,
from the Argentine Embassy.

Hello, Argentina.

[In English] -And your petition has been
accepted by our client,

[In English] Mr. Steve Hodge.

He says your claim has been
accepted by Hodge.

-Seriously?
[In English] -Yes.

-That's wonderful.

[In English] -Thank you! Thank you.

[In English] -That's Hodge.

[In English] -Here we go.
Mr. Hodge has arrived.

That's not Hodge.

-He's changed a lot.
-It's Hodge's brother.

Mr. Hodge came to speak on his behalf.

[In English] -The jersey belongs to your country.
-He says,

uh, [Lip smack] that the jersey
belongs to Argentina. [Cheerful music]

[In English] -Thank you very much, Mr. Hodge.
[Mr. Hodge] -Long live Diego.

Long live.

[Laughing] The scoundrel. If I hadn't asked for it,
he wouldn't have returned it. The nerve of him.

Titi, please, they can still hear you, Titi.

I want to see it. Take it out and open it.

Yes.

Focus on the crest.

Closer.

-It's not real.
-What do you mean it's not real?

-It's not, it's fake.
-What do you mean it's fake, Titi?

-It's fake.
-Hodge is right there.

You sons of bitches! You sons of bitches, you
want to swindle us! English, sons of bitches!

Since when?
Do you think I'm going to fall for that?

It's stuck on. The crest is stuck on.

It's glued on. You idiot! Who do you think
you are, a pirate, you son of a bitch? Son of a bitch!

The connection is about to drop, everyone.

[In English] -Okay.
Thank you. Lawyers, thank you.

You stole the Falklands from us!

Now you want to steal what? The jersey of God? Pirates,

sons of bitches! Sons of bitches!

Easy, Titi. Easy. [Titi cries]
Breathe, please.

Breathe calmly, okay?

What absolute sons of bitches.

[Crash]

[Plane approaching]

[Crashes]

[Explosions]

[Machine gun fire]

[Explosions]

[Welder]

[Welder]

Stop welding! Stop!

[Thunder]

[Rain] [Beeping] [Thunder] [Rain]
[Beeping] [Thunder] [Rain] [Beeping]

[Thunder] [Rain]
[Commentator] -Diego. There's Maradona,

[Thunder] [Rain]
[Commentator] marked by two,

[Commentator] Ball played to Maradona.
He takes off down the right,

[Welder]

[Background commentary]

[Commentator] Genius, genius, go, go, go...
Gooal!!!

[Explosion]

[Echo] Diego, Diego

[Explosion]

[Camera shutter] [Rain]

I was there,

waiting

when suddenly

he handed over the jersey, the number ten

to have the crest sewn on.
So I went up,

and I asked the lady to do
the biggest favour of my life.

And perhaps of yours too, Diego,

-right?
-Titi, [Echo] could you have dreamed that?

[Rain]

Titi. [Rain]

[Rain] [Thunder] Titi.

Let's go inside,
he's going to get sick. It's raining!

[Rain] [Thunder]

Did you take your pill, Titi?

-If you want I'll scare you, but I can't remember.
-What were you doing out in the rain?

-Leave them there, I'll take them now.
-Sure you will. Open your mouth, come on.

Come on, good.

This afternoon he got upset
about the jersey situation

and then he was acting strange.

But tell him why I got upset.
Those scoundrels wanted to cheat us.

Who wanted to cheat you? Enough, Titi, enough.
Please, it's four in the morning.

Your blood pressure is high. You don't know if you took
your pills. Give it a rest.

Go on Kevin! Go get some rest.
Thank you.

-What are you looking at?
-Nothing, I was saying hi.

-Bye.
-My granddaughter is very good with set pieces.

-Am I good?
-Uh, you have a gift.

And why doesn't she become a player?

[Laughing]

To play football
you need discipline, right?

You know what that is, don't you?

-No thanks. Discipline? Pass.
-Look at that character, you remind me of me.

Everyone insults me.

But it's a compliment.
What you know how to do,

teach him-- never mind, never mind, go home,
please. I'm fine.

-This boy is golden. Imagine if he weren't here.
-Yes, a golden snitch.

She has that dopey guy half in love,
doesn't she?

-I think it's the other way around.
-How the other way around? She treats him terribly.

You treat me terribly, right?
If I didn't matter to you, you'd treat me nicely.

You get angry because I matter to you.

Now Titi

is going to have a wee.

[Rain] [Traffic]

[Car door] [Rain]

[Knocking on window]

Don't tell Titi I smoke
because he thinks I quit.

He got like that because of the video call
with England.

What?

Come in.

-With the English player's lawyers.
-Did you take Titi's medication?

No. He was standing in the rain
and he thought I was Maradona.

He told me about what's on the crest
of the jersey.

What's on the crest of the jersey?

[Thunder] [Rain]

Did you know that
under the crest was my brother?

-Did you know?
-What do you mean your brother?

Titi asked to see the crest but didn't say
anything about your brother.

My father, before the match,

had a photo of my brother put
under the crest of the jersey.

[Sighs]. My brother gave
Maradona a hand.

And if it's true that my brother's photo is there,

we need to recover that
jersey by any means.

-Why?
-Because my brother's photo is there.

My father doesn't want to recover the jersey,
what my father wants,

is to recover the photo of his son.

Well, if you won't do it for my father,
I don't know, do it for

Argentina.

I mean, we get the jersey back and maybe
we become world champions, right?

Excuse me, could the photo really be true?

When it comes to my brother, my father doesn't joke.

It's my father's dying wish.

[Footsteps] We get the jersey back
and we win the World Cup, guys.

I choose to believe.

What's going on?

The Zoom was strange,

Erica, how can I say this? Uh,

[Clicks tongue] there was never a
video call with London.

-What do you mean?
-What do you mean?

[Bell]

-Can we get the bill
please, waiter?

We haven't ordered anything yet.

Erica,

I swear I did it
with the best of intentions.

I had a copy of the jersey

I have a family friend who
has an English language school,

in the Acassuso area.

Erica, forgive me.

Some goals are scored
with the hand or they don't go in,

and there was no fair way
to get it.

I care a great deal about your father

and it was the only way
to give him some joy.

You didn't give him joy,
you gave him a blood pressure spike. [Footsteps]

[Soft music]

[Water sounds]

-What are you doing?, are you going to go in?
-Yes.

You need to step on the line three times with your
left foot and then go in, you see?

-Three little short taps,
-Okay.

Where's the tape? Let me see?

Good. Now go in, yes.

Wait, what...? Come here. Step on it,
step on the three again...

Yes, yes, yes. I was going to do it,
I was going to do it.

There you go.
Have fun or I'll be very displeased, okay?

-Erica.
-[Sighs] Cata, can you help me?

Erica, can we talk? I wanted to apologize.
You know how much my father

cared about Titi. I care about him too.
And the truth is I was unfair,

-Without meaning to.
-I don't understand.

I didn't, didn't know he had so little time left,
otherwise I would never have... [Sighs]

So I spoke with the board of directors
and it was decided that

he's going to die in his place,
as he would have wanted.

Thank you.

-Thank you so much.
-Nobody is going to demolish the old stand

-while he's still there, ever.
-Thank you.

[Footsteps] Could you tell me
how you found out?

I swore not to say anything. It was one of those
boys who come to visit your father.

-The one who... glasses? No. The other one.
-Pato.

Pato, that one. That one, that one. [They laugh]
Don't throw me under the bus, please.

No, no, forget it, I... my lips are sealed. Besides,
I can imagine how difficult it must be for

-the club in a situation like this.
-And it's not easy. Now the Italians might

take some of the boys, let's see if we can lower
the club fees, but

it's tough.

Can I ask that you don't tell my father
they're letting him stay because he's...

-dying?
-That's already been agreed, don't worry.

-Perfect, perfect.
-Sharp as a tack, isn't she?

-What?
-Her head.

-That's why she gets confused and says silly things.

In her head, yes, yes. She has a tumour.

-Those tumours are terrible.
-Terrible.

-Poor thing.
-That's life. My darling. [Sighs]

I'm going to cook for her because she loves
the, the Risotto that... [Crying] Sorry.

-No, all good. At your service.
-Yes. Thank you, very much.

[Cata] What are you laughing about?

-That rascal Pato. [Crying]
-What?

He scored a goal with his hand.

[Radio]
Excitement is growing across the country

over the imminent auction of the legendary

jersey that Diego Armando Maradona
wore at the Mexico '86 World Cup,

in that historic match against
England. Fans, clubs, former players

and various foundations [Thud] are
organising collections with the aim of

[Object falling]
Is anyone there? If anyone's there, hello.

-It's me!
-Good God!

[Radio] That the jersey from
the iconic match, returns home.

[Reporter] Today there are great
hopes among the Argentine people

[Reporter] that the jersey
from the goal of the century will return home.

An Argentine has made
an offer of millions of pounds

that appears to be the leading bid.

Among the contributors
was Gerard Piqué,

who stated: "I know very well
what this armour

means to the Argentines."

[Reporter] Exactly

twenty-five seconds remain
until the hammer falls.

[Tense music]

How did it go?

-No.
-What? What?

-What?
-Are you confirming?

-What!
-What?

Just seventeen seconds before
the hammer fell,

a Middle Eastern businessman

bid the staggering sum of one
million seven hundred and forty-two thousand

-five hundred pounds.
-Oh.

No.

For goodness' sake!

I knew it!

[Reporter] In London,

what many Argentines were hoping for
could not happen.

Unfortunately, we will go
and visit it, if they let us.

[Melancholic music]

Hi, Dad. Do you work here?

And to think you managed to become
the national team's kit man.

I wanted you to study a degree.

And what did you end up doing?

No, I died.

I'm dead.

Or am I not?

I forgot.

There it is.

Nobody remembers anymore.

-I have to go.
-No, come here. Get in here.

-What is that? Is it a grave?
-Come on, get in.

Alright.

[Explosion]

[Melancholic music]

[Thunder]

[Melancholic music]

[Melancholic music] [Thunder]

Can I ask you a favour?

I've had an idea to
get the jersey.

-Yes, we're already looking for it.
-Is that one?

No, the other one...

[Cheerful music]

[Cheerful music]

November 22, 2022.
Qatar World Cup.
Argentina 1 – Saudi Arabia 2.

[Radio] The match is about to end,

Out Argentina, it's over. Come on,

Ladies and gentlemen, it's finished.

Saudi Arabia pulls off the upset of the tournament.

There's a victory. A huge blow for Argentina,
but now more than

ever, more than ever, we have to believe.

[Radio] A stumble,
but get up quickly,

[Radio] think of Mexico.
-Alright, Titi.

[Radio] and keep playing the World Cup.
-Are you sure, absolutely sure

that Pablo's photo is in that jersey?

I'm going to call Diego.

[Object falling]

-Damn it!
-Did you hurt yourself?

Oh, no. Oh, I broke Mum's keepsake.
I could kill myself.

-It's okay, love.
-I can't believe it. I can't believe it.

We bought it in Mexico!

Who did?

It was a gift for your Mum.
For your Mum!

I would like

to keep the memory of someone who's gone,
alright? If that's possible, if it's not too much to ask.

I wasn't there.

I'm losing my marbles.

I'm going mad then. I just saw you.

-I didn't travel to Mexico, Dad.
-Titi, it was an accident.

What? Are you crazy?
We went to buy plates.

Or I don’t know, damn it,
was it Batista?

Are you confusing me
with Checho Batista?

It was you.

I didn't travel to Mexico, Dad.

What do you mean you didn't travel?
Weren't you the one who was afraid of flying?

I was afraid of flying?

Uh, Eri, come on, let's pick up...

No! No! Because it's not just now
that he doesn't remember things.

Now that you don't remember anything,
you make me remember

that when it was something of mine,
you never remembered,

What?

Me.

[Background commentary]

You have no idea, do you?

About what?

Why I'm angry.

No idea, right? [Background commentary]

You've got somewhere to live now, Titi.

We don't need to see each other anymore.

[Footsteps]

We're not going to be knocked out.
The little one is on fire.

-He's captain, captain.
-Ah, no. Qatar is in the back of beyond.

Eight thousand hours sitting on your rear
on the plane,

we get knocked out in the group stage,

what do I do?
Do I make the best of it?

-Captain, captain.
[Phone] -Erica.

-Titi has kicked the bucket.
-Did Titi die?

-I don't know.
-Answer it, you fool.

[Sighing] Hello.

Tell me that what I have
in my living room,

isn't some theatre act of yours.

[Background voice] Coffee? Water?

-Pardon?
-I've got two bedsheet-wearing guys like bedouins

and a Falklands veteran
with a message from an Italian scout.

They say they had the jersey
scanned with a CT.

and it appears that beneath the crest
there might be something resembling a photo.

We just lost to Saudi Arabia

and you're telling me you have two bedouins
at your house? Are you pulling my leg?

No, I was calling you to ask if
you're pulling my leg.

I swear...

-I don't know what you're telling me.
-And Ricky? Could it have been Ricky?

Because I asked Ricky
to talk to the veterans

to show them Titi's video. Did he?

-Hold on.

Did you do that idiotic thing
through the proper, official channels?

Legitimately, shall we say?

Yes.

That fool Ricky

did the thing you asked him to
and which I never thought,

if those people are really there for real
or are you pulling my leg?

No.

Ricky might have just scored the second goal
against the English, the one not with his hand.

Are you saying these guys
are for real?

Ricky is such a fool...

and fools always choose to believe.

[Optimistic music]

We are always in contact
with associations of English veterans,

So we sent them your father's video,
which tells the story

of your brother and your father
to see what they could do.

The truth is it was they who made the effort from England

to get in touch with
the current owner of the jersey.

So they sent your father's request

and the owner believes there is something
beneath the crest.

These gentlemen,

come on behalf of the owner.

Pipo,

they won't let him in unless he is
accompanied by the daughter.

Only direct relatives of the soldier.

I can't go in, he can't
go in, understood?

I'm not going to ask her, guys,
you ask her.

-But why?
-Because she feels Titi doesn't treat her well

and she exploded. So she doesn't call
him because she's hurt and he doesn't

call her to apologise.
I've done all I can, guys.

Pipo, the jersey is today at the
Foreign Ministry. Tomorrow it goes back to Abu Dhabi.

-She shouldn't be so stubborn either.
-Sorry, sorry.

-And what if, what if Titi apologises?
-He doesn't even know why I'm angry.

-I've never got on a plane.
-Erica.

I have never got on a plane in my life
and the man doesn't remember.

He thinks we bought something together
on a trip,

but we never went on a trip together,

Because we never did anything together,
but the man doesn't remember.

-He's getting old.
-It's not now! [Shouts]

It's not now that he forgets things.

He never cared about me.
He never cared about what happened to me.

He knows nothing about me.

And now he forgets the
few things that matter to him,

among which I was never included.

But since he's sick and old, I
can't say it. Can I not complain?

Why do I have to forgive him?
He's a miserable old man.

Being his daughter is the worst thing
that ever happened to me in life.

You take him, Pipo,

No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no,
Only they'll let him in with you.

The father and sister of the soldier fallen
on the islands. You have to go.

Yes, yes, do it for the others,
if not for him.

I wouldn't do it for any of you.

Love, love, do it, do it for everyone.

Mmm, do it for the country.

[Laughs] Do you really think that
if the jersey comes back to Argentina,

we're going to win the World Cup?

But you said you chose to believe?

Shut up, you fool. [Object falls]

I'm not going, okay?

My husband is the most
unpunctual taxi in the world.

Can I speak to you?

-I want to apologize.
-There's no need to talk.

-No, seriously.
-And why?

-Why are you apologizing?
-For something that made you angry.

You're apologizing because I'm angry.

-What?
-What do you mean what? Can't you hear me?

So you won't be angry.

You're apologizing to me
so I won't be angry?

And what did you do to me?

-Something that made you angry.
-And what was it?

You don't remember?

Or do you have absolutely no idea?

I have absolutely no idea.

[Traffic] Sorry, sorry, sorry.
Heavy traffic, sorry.

[Soft music]

[Footsteps] I need your documents,
please.

-Uh... Ah.

-Here are both.
-Thank you.

[Sighs]

[Melancholic music]

-I know now what it was.
-What was what?

-What made you...

-furious with me.
-Well, about time.

Your fifteenth birthday.

-What?
-Your fifteenth birthday,

when you turned fifteen and I...

I couldn't be there, I didn't make it,

I couldn't make it
because I was working.

Because well, the, the national team
took up all my time,

and well, I let you down.
I'm sorry, but I let you down.

Alright.

But you were at my birthday.

[Mumbles]

Don't you remember being at my
fifteenth birthday?

Nooo...

Alright, you may go in.

That one is his.

-Now?
-Yes.

Would you like to go in, please?

-Ah.
-He doesn't even remember being there.

He doesn't remember being
at my fifteenth birthday.

I mean, he has no memory
of when I turned fifteen.

What?

You don't know why a daughter gets angry?

Because you have no idea
what it means to be a father.

Allow me to introduce my father.

[Mutters an insult] [Footsteps]

[Emotional music]

[Footsteps]

[Emotional piano music]

[Scissors]

[Emotional piano music]

Are you alright?

[Crying]

Thank you.

[Emotional piano music]

Can I see it?

Yes.

-You got it.
-Yes.

-And? Are we going to win the World Cup now?
-I don't know.

What do you mean you don't know?
Wasn't that the point of the photo?

I didn't have a copy.

I had lost the negatives.

It's the last photo from the day he left.

[Emotional piano chord]

Pablito was so scared...
And I didn't know what to do.

I didn't know how to help him.

But I felt that, that if he smiled,

he would come back.

That got into my head.

And he did it for me.

Look at his eyes, can you see?
He knows he is going to die,

but he smiles.

He smiles to calm me down.

He saw my panic.

That is proof

that when a father
doesn't know how to care for a son,

the son can care for the father.

-Especially when the father is a fool.
-[Laughs]

-Even more so.
-Yes.

[Emotional music]

Yes.

[Commentator] in an unforgettable and dramatic final.

Penalty shootout time to see
who becomes world champion.

Argentina deserved it more, of course.

Poor Dibu

[Commentator] ...will have to make...

-Dad!

-Come!
[Commentator] -...our ace in the hole.

Dad! Oh, I can't believe he can't see this.
Dad, come on! Dad! Hey!

[Commentator] -Come on, Argentina of my heart,
to the end.

[Commentator] Whatever happens.

Come on, Argentina, with the penalties, let's see.

And may it be what it has to be.

[Commentator] Mbappé is going to take
his third penalty of the match.

Is he angry with me?

[Background commentary]

No, why?

Because they're taking me to Italy to play.

Are you out of your mind?

It's just he's not talking to me much.

It's that I don't have much to say.
