Synopsis.
The Guerrerros are probably not your normal family considering the difficulty they face living in a country with stringent immigration laws. However they will unite as one to conquer the various obstacles and situations immigrants in the United States face.
Dysfunctional but always united, the five siblings, “El Patas” (Moreno), Rosa (Laura Chimaras), Marisol (Montes), Julián (Gabriel Tarantini) and Lili (Ainhoa Paz), watch as their mother, Irma (Flores), makes the painful decision to leave them behind in Houston when she finds out she will be deported to Mexico.
Along the way, they’ll find support from Erika Ramirez, a social worker who takes on the family’s case, and Santiago Velez (Mauricio Henao), a women’s soccer coach who discovers Marisol’s talent as a soccer player.
Marisol’s passion for soccer will help ignite her siblings’ determination to keep fighting for their dreams no matter what obstacles they face along the way.
Plot and Full Story
In a neighborhood of Houston we will meet a Hispanic family, united as dysfunctional. They are the Guerrero’s: five brothers and sisters who were left alone when their father died and their mother was deported to Mexico.
The oldest of the Guerrero is José María, born in Mexico and undocumented. They call him ‘El Patas’ since he was a young boy because of his ability with his feet and the ball. Patas always dreamed of being a professional footballer, but he had to abandon his dream to take charge of his three sisters and younger brother.
The eldest sister Rosa, also undocumented, is very beautiful and enamored with her family. She grew up feeling that with her beauty she could get what she wanted.
Then came the twins, already born in the USA and so natural citizens: Marisol and Julián, both different as inseparable.
Marisol is responsible and a fighter; while her twin Julian is always ungovernable, in trouble and as brazen as he is charming.
And finally Lili was born, a loving and intelligent girl but in need of affection, marked by the absence of her parents.
It has been five years since the Guerrero mother was deported and she made a very painful decision: she left her children in the United States to assure them a future in the country of opportunities.
Patas married Ashley, a redneck, with whom he had a son and whom he has helped to overcome her addictions. However, Ashley’s constant relapses and her own personal monsters, have worn away their relationship, opening the door to Erika, a committed social worker who supports the Guerrero’s to stay together as a family, and who will steal everyone’s heart, especially that of Patas.
The family will soon realize that the American dream is not easy to achieve, and much more for five young orphans, who have stopped believing in dreams, until one of them, Marisol, through her passion for football, gives hope back to her brothers and sisters and shows them that they can dream.
Although Marisol loves soccer, she does not see it as a profession, since she only knows the reality of her neighborhood. But everything will change when Santiago, the coach of a women’s soccer club, sees Marisol’s dominance with the ball.
He will make her see that she has a gift, a special talent that should not be wasted, and Marisol will begin to fight to become a professional footballer, but she will have many burdens that will prevent her from achieving stardom. Each problem of her family will be an obstacle that will steal her time and attention.
Patas, Rosa, Marisol, Julián and Lili are the perfect example of the support between brothers, in this family of survivors that does not show their affection with tears, but with actions, always united, whatever happens and regardless of the rules or obstacles that have to be skipped.
