"Football is God" explores the close relation between faith and football, following three fans of the legendary Club Atlético Boca Juniors in Buenos Aires. Hernán is an intellectual, intoxicated by a love for Boca that he cannot shake off. Pablo is a working class man that believes that the former Boca player, Diego Maradona is a God. La Tía (The Auntie) is an old eccentric. She considers the Boca players her sons. "Football is God" is about football ¿ but also about faith, passion and the need for being part of something bigger than one self.
