Historias de Fútbol (Soccer Stories)
Chile, 1997, 90 min. Directed by Andrés Wood.

Some say in Latin America, football (soccer to the US) is the center of everything. Soccer Stories uses this incredibly favored sport to explore a diverse Chilean geography and culture and link three Chilean lives: a third-division player from Santiago de Chile is handed a life-changing offer; a boy living in the Calama Desert must face making a bold sacrifice; and a football fan stuck in a remote corner of the southern island of Chiloé is given an unexpected chance to experience another kind of passion. El Metropolitano has rated this heartfelt film as one of the top ten motion pictures in the history of Chilean cinema.

“Wood maintains a hip tenor via astute pacing, performances and soundtrack-music choices” – Dennis Harve, Variety
