Documentary, Drama, History

A sport like football is primarily a passionate celebration, but one that is so massive (economically, politically and socially) that it, of course, also brings many problems. Olallo Rubio's third documentary (and fourth film in total), Ilusión Nacional, is a take on how the world's most popular sport relates to Mexican society and politics.

Plot

National Dream is a film about Mexico and the World Soccer Cup. The documentary s dramatic recounting of soccer history is like a time machine that goes from 1928 to 2012. Throughout the illustrative, fast-paced, action-packed journey, viewers get to actually feel the energy of a packed-to-the-gills Stadium and experience the thrills of the most exciting games. They relive Mexico s euphoria when it hosted the Cup in 1970 and again in 1986, the nail-biting and held breath during a penalty shoot-out and all the action of the world s most popular sport.
