Dennis es un chico normalito, tirando a tímido, y con un solo amigo, Darvesh. Pero cuando lleva un balón entre los pies, ¡se convierte en un auténtico prodigio del futbol! Gracias a él, el equipo de la escuela va a clasificar para la final del campeonato y esto ha hecho que de pronto todos quieran ser como él.

Pero Dennis tiene una afición tan secreta que ni siquiera Darvesh conoce. Gracias a ese hobby, ha conseguido hacerse amigo de Lisa, la chica más guapa del colegio. Y ella es quien le alienta a que comparta su talento oculto con el mundo...¿Estará el mundo preparado para él? ¿Lo entenderán su familia, Darvesh o los compañeros del equipo?

ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
