This documentary contrasts Alonso's glorious playing days and his initial successes as a coach at Real Sociedad B and Bayer Leverkusen with the current reality: a weakened project on the verge of collapse. Through exclusive interviews and expert commentary, this film offers the first in-depth look at the manager at his most critical moment, when the myth faces the challenge.
