The ambitious debut feature from 24-year-old Honduran director Aeden O'Connor Agurcia takes its name — and running time — from the duration of a soccer match to tell four interlinking stories about contemporary life in Honduras, all tied together by the nation's passion for "the beautiful game." In one story, a Honduran migrant crossing through Mexico gets into a fight over a match between the two national teams. Another segment focuses on a young soccer fan in Tegucigalpa forced to choose between his family and his sport. A third story follows a young reporter who goes from shooting footage of a soccer practice to risking his life filming a safe house guarded by drug dealers. And the fourth follows a former soccer player who was part of the first Honduran national team to play at the World Cup, as he struggles to rediscover purpose away from the pitch. Exploring issues as diverse as immigration, drug trafficking, hooliganism and domestic violence, O'Connor Agurcia creates a powerful snapshot of Honduran life through the lens of the world's most beloved game.
