Directed and written by Raul Lopez Echeverria, this is — as the title tells us — the story of Domingo (Eduardo Covarrubias), who lives in a poor neighborhood in Guadalajara. He has lost his wife to divorce and only has work in his life until he learns that his passion for announcing soccer matches can change his entire neighborhood.
While soccer may not be as popular here in America — it’s making strides and the World Cup is a big deal here no as well — you can substitute any sport for what Domingo loves. The idea that he sits on the sidelines of a barely complete pitch and is as passionate about the games as anyone commenting on the biggest matches in the world is why everyone loves him.
I like that Tubi is getting these foreign movies and giving people in our country a chance to see what the rest of the world is like. I may not be a soccer fan but I can feel the passion within this movie and the joy that the characters feel.
You can watch this on Tubi.

Agreed. I enjoy that Tubi is acquiring foreign films for U.S audiences to discover. I’ve watch quite a few from China, Japan, and Russia. The Russian T-34 was pretty good. In the Fade with Diane Kruger was even better. Jonas Dassler is stunning in the serial killer bio The Golden Glove. All discovered because of Tubi.
