La Familia Del Barrio: La Maldición del Quinto Partido (2026)

Director: Sergio Lebrija

Cast: Sergio Lebrija, Arturo Navarro

Since 1994, Mexico’s national team has been knocked out of the World Cup before reaching that elusive fifth match. For El Abuelo, that’s no fluke—it’s a hex. Faced with a terminal diagnosis and only months to live, he refuses to leave this world without seeing his country shatter the curse. What starts as a patriotic mission spirals into an unlawful trek across the U.S. border, where they uncover a dark truth: the devil dwells in Los Angeles, and the 1986 World Cup mascot guards a game-changing secret. Through botched border crossings, shocking betrayals, and buried family truths, they race back to Mexico for a sacred soccer ritual at the Estadio Azteca. To undo the pact, they must collect eleven holy relics of Mexican football and confront not just the devil, but their own ghosts. As the nation holds its breath for a final penalty kick on live TV, the family fights a battle that could rewrite the destiny of Mexican soccer forever.
