Machuca
Chile, 1973. Gonzalo Infante y Pedro Machuca son dos niños de once años que viven en Santiago, el primero en un barrio acomodado y el segundo en un humilde poblado ilegal. Ambos son compañeros de un colegio privado (al cual Pedro accede por becas que ofrece el director). Pero a las dificultades objetivas de este intento de integración se agregan las que se derivan del clima de abierto enfrentamiento social que vive la sociedad chilena.

Historias de fútbol
Three stories about football, one of the most important twentieth-century rituals. A third division player from Santiago de Chile is bribed, but does not realise that his behaviour betrays more than the loyalty of his team-mates. A boy from Calama, Chile wins the local derby pichanga, a soccer match that can last all afternoon, but he loses the few pesos he acquired by pawning his mother's last possessions. Francisco, a boy from the city, is stuck in a remote corner of the southern island of Chiloé on the day that Chile has to play its qualifying match for the World Cup. The only TV is in the house of the Serón sisters. While the local male population gathers to watch the match, the sisters decide which of them will initiate the young Francisco into love. (IMDB) -
