Suddenly the Chaco war is declared in (1932), sports tournaments are suspended throughout the country. The “strongest football club’s” president and board summon the teams players fans and partners to a meeting where 600 men volunteer to defend their country.

The victory that they were denied on the pitch, was granted to them on the battlefield Changing the very course of the Chaco war, many died, finally finding all the glory they were seeking.

Strong is a movie that takes place in the 1930s it poetically presents the best of an entire generation, that chose to trade jerseys for uniforms, soccer balls for a rifles, and in many cases life for death; this movie breaks all barriers through common and relatable themes like love football and war.
