In this thought-provoking film, the workers compete in a football tournament, known as the Workers Cup, which provides them with a temporary escape from their grueling living and working conditions.

The documentary gives an intimate and personal glimpse into the lives of these workers, highlighting their dreams, struggles, and the sacrifices they make to support their families back home.
