In the middle of the breathtaking landscapes of the Andes Mountains, eight-year-old Feliciano tries to balance herding his alpacas with his love for football.

Feliciano’s greatest passion is football. He even names his father’s alpacas after his favorite players, like Ronaldo. Feliciano is overjoyed when he hears that Peru might qualify for the World Cup, but there’s little time to dream. A mining company threatens to poison the water, destroy the region’s fragile ecosystem, and endanger the future of his community. When Ronaldo suddenly goes missing, Feliciano embarks on a desperate search. Meanwhile, his parents and neighbors join forces to take action against the mining company.
