Panama, 1986. At 17 years old, Rommel, who everyone calls big-headed, walks through the streets kicking an empty milk carton, daydreaming about playing soccer. But Mélida, his mother, pressures him to look for work, while caring for and taking care of his sister Jackeline, while she makes a living selling fried foods on the streets of Chorrillo. The mini league is approaching, and Rommel is working tirelessly for a spot on the Pampers. From being called big-headed, he will become the Panzer of football, of his family and of everyone. A film inspired by the life of Rommel Fernández Gutiérrez, the great legend of Panamanian and Tenerife football.
