About this movie

How far would you go to pursue your dream? When 22-year-old Sergio Torres quit his job in a brick-factory in rural Argentina, his friends and family thought he was crazy. Sergio then spent all of his savings on a plane-ticket to England. Into the unknown, with nothing more than a dream: he wanted to become a professional footballer. Filmmaker Jasper Spanjaart captures an incredible story of sacrifice and perseverance that took the Argentinian from working morning-shifts at a Boots warehouse to playing at Old Trafford, the Theatre of Dreams. Together the two have spent over a year retracing the story of The Unknown Torres to find out what pursuing dreams in life is all about.
