Carlos Outside the Lines

Carlos Outside the Lines

Carlos is a kids’ soccer coach. “The best in the country,” at least according to his ex-wife. He wants to move up a league on the pitch and in his personal life, but his self-destructive nature leaves him feeling out of place. His demands are too high, driving players to quit, and his son Shahar isn’t always willing to open the door for him. As Shahar pulls away, Carlos realizes he needs to change his approach, but he still feels like an outsider. He can’t find the comfort he needs from his mother, and goes to political protests mainly to find love. But Carlos has another, hidden love. Will he manage to make a real change?
