DocumentarySport

Emiliano, a dreamy boy from Mar del Plata, became the ‘Dibu’ we all know today, one of the great heroes of Argentine football. Written by Hernán Casciari and directed by Gustavo Cova, it tells the story of this kid who discovers he has the power to stop time and argues with a ball that reminds him of all the challenges he has ahead. With a combination of animated sequences created by Liniers, archival footage, and interviews with his friends, family, and teammates, it is a tender and brave account of how his inner strength led him to achieve glory, becoming an inspiration for new generations.
