Gonzalo, an imaginative ten-year-old boy in love with football, crosses the mountainous town of Pamplona every day alongside his best friend, a soccer ball, playing with it before school and getting his shoes dirty. Every day, he is scolded during the uniform inspection by his strict professor, Ramón, and punished by being forced to polish his shoes during break time. Everything changes the day Ramón decides to raise the stakes: next time Gonzalo arrives with dirty shoes, he is going to confiscate his soccer ball. Gonzalo is not going to let anything get in his way, only to meet with the most amazing, exciting and difficult journey of his life: the titanic fight of a playful kid getting to uniform inspection with clean shoes.
