A casualty of the decades-long fighting in Colombia, 10-year-old Eduardo lost his leg after stepping on a landmine. Deposited by his impoverished parents at a children’s home, he and his friends secretly practice to compete in a children’s soccer tournament to avoid the wrath of the home’s tyrannical director.
