Description
From the rural banana plantation where they play soccer for the village team to the big city stadiums, two brothers have become rivals and battle each other on opposing sides. When a talent scout gets stranded in their tiny town, brothers Beto and Tato are discovered. They are whisked away to Mexico City to play for the big leagues where they quickly achieve fame. Beto is nicknamed 'Rudo' for his hotheaded goalkeeper style and Tato is called 'Cursi' for his peculiar scoring technique. Success leads to excess. Rudo descends into a quagmire of gambling debt and drug abuse. Cursi is distracted by beautiful women and a second career as a pop singer. Having come so far, will the siblings remember their original goal to build a home for their mother?
Description
"Beto y Tato Verdusco son dos hermanos que trabajan en una plantaci̤n de pl̀tanos. Tambǐn son miembros del equipo de f︢t︣bol local. A Beto le apodaron "Rudo" por su personalidad y su forma de jugar. Suęa con convertirse en futbolista profesional, pero Tato suęa con ser un cantante famoso. Ambos comparten un deseo: construir una casa para su madre Elvira. La suerte les sonr̕e cuando "Batuta", un ojeador de f︢t︣bol, los descubre por casualidad. Tato es el primero en mudarse a la gran ciudad y en convertirse en la estrella del Deportivo Amaranto, donde su curioso estilo le vale el apodo de "Cursi". Beto se siente traicionado, pero al cabo de poco tiempo le ficha el Atľtico Nopaleros para defender la porter̕a. Con ambos en la cima de la gloria, los rencores parecen olvidados, pero la tregua es de corta duraci̤n. Cuando est̀n a punto de hacer realidad sus suęos, los dos hermanos deber̀n enfrentarse a una rivalidad innata, y a sus propios demonios y limitaciones"--es.movies.yahoo.com.
