A special cinematic tribute to Argentina’s triumphant victory at the Qatar 2022 World Cup will grace the screens of Star Cineplex. Titled “Muchachos, los angeles peliculos angeles de los angeles gente”, this production is a candid portrait of the joyful adventure of the Argentine national team and its passionate fans.
The film was originally released on December 7, 2023, almost a year after Lionel Messi won the World Cup trophy in Lusail following a dramatic victory over France.
Created by Pampa Films Production, the film directed by Jesús Braceras, with narration written by renowned journalist Hernán Casciari, encapsulates the emotional rollercoaster of Argentina’s World Cup campaign, which began with its initial setback against Saudi Arabia and culminated in a resounding victory in the championship. The film promises exclusive behind-the-scenes footage from FIFA and showcases the unwavering attitude of Argentinian enthusiasts around the world.
Casciari is known for his previous work, including the poignant short story “Messi and His Suitcase,” which chronicles Lionel Messi’s adventure to Barcelona with a suitcase prepared for his eventual return to Argentina.
Narrated by famed actor Guillermo Francella, the film captures the fairy tale of Lionel Messi leading him to glory.
The film comes at the right time to celebrate Argentina’s historic achievement, their third world title, which has great significance after years of demanding situations and complaints following their defeat in 2014. “Muchachos” aims to relive the ups and downs of the tournament through the lens of passionate fans of Argentine football, showcasing the unprecedented bond between the team and their nation.
