Rudo et Cursi

Here's a movie that asks: What if sibling rivalry met professional soccer? Two stepbrothers are plucked from a rural banana plantation and given a shot at soccer stardom. Only one brother makes the initial cut, setting off a predictable spiral. It's a slight comedy, but not without its charms.
