Great movie from the new Mexican cinema. In a town called Buenaventura there lives an 11-year-old boy known as Zurdo, who has a great skill at playing marbles. One day a stranger from the town of Santa Maria arrives challenging Zurdo to the one he claims is the best player, nicknamed the Magician. Zurdo accepts the challenge, and both towns give all their passion, courage and optimism.1 The date of the meeting is set and bets are made throughout the town, at the same time that Zurdo's childish and dreamlike world collapses before the material ambitions of the adults. With Arcelia Ramírez, Alex Perea, Alejandro Camacho, Eugenio Derbez With music by Paul Van Dyk
