Such is the expectation on Lucia’s, a girl on the cusp of adulthood, who must find herself a photography job in the summer or be stuck working for her father at the church.

Facundo, the bar's owner, finds an unclaimed ticket in his bar. After Argentina lose their first game, Facundo rubs off the ticket in frustration, but that frustration turns to frantic joy as theticket numbers are revealed to be winning ones.

Facundo treats Lucia’s team, along with some other community members to a free trip to Qatar to watch their team in action.
