“Puckishly entertaining.” –Los Angeles Times
“Hilarious, satirical and melancholy…one of the year's most memorable offerings.” –Newsweek
Gael García Bernal and Diego Luna, the stars of Y Tu Mamá También, are reunited as two brothers living a hard life of manual labor in rural Mexico. They have a simple dream: saving enough money to build their mother her dream house. But fate has other plans. A friendly game of soccer leads to first one, then the other being taken on by the nation’s top talent scout, and gives rise to the first of many emotional head-to-heads between brothers.
Suddenly, they find themselves living the high life of star athletes—fame, riches, fast cars and beautiful women. But every dream has a dark side, and when they are forced to compete on rival teams, bitterness brews between them. Mutual trust gives way to resentment and betrayal, while the dangers of their wild new lifestyles threaten debt and the safety of their entire family. In the end, their relationship and their future will ride on the one big game between their two clubs.
