Since 1994, Mexico has been eliminated time and again before the coveted fifth game. For El Abuelo, this is no coincidence: it's a curse. When he learns he only has a few months to live, he decides he can't die without seeing the national team break the curse.

While the entire country awaits the decisive penalty kick on television, the family wages a battle that could change the history of Mexican soccer.
