Bilardo faces the biggest challenge of his life: coaching the Argentine National Team; he also faces the two greatest enemies in his career: his predecessor, César Luis Menotti, and a group of journalists.

The 1986 World Cup marks the beginning of the pinnacle of Bilardo's career; in Mexico, a more intimate Bilardo appears, a man of small details and rituals for good luck.

Bilardo goes through his most intense years, from the triumph in Mexico 86 to the epic and ironic ending of Italy 90; he must make the difficult decision to resign as Argentina's Technical Director.

The possibility of coaching a big football club like Boca Juniors arises and Bilardo returns to Estudiantes.
