We Can Be Heroes!

Ten year old Marcello doesn't have it easy. His dad wants him to grow up to be professional soccer player. But Marcello can't sink a goal. That's bad enough, but then there's his mom who expects him to become priest. She makes him go to church and choir practice. But Marcello can't hold a tune...

In his despair, Marcello turns to Jesus. In what seems to be a miracle, help appears in the form of Fatima, a new classmate. From that point on, everything changes. The very confident Fatma plays soccer better than all the boys but she too has a problem: her older brothers want to keep her from playing soccer. Together though, the two young heroes are an unbeatable team.
