Watchlist:
It tells the story of four Jewish boys during a few summer days at the country club where their parents take them, on the outskirts of Buenos Aires, in 1993. Within the club, the four define themselves as outsiders, since they do not participate in the sports activities that are practiced there, and therefore do not fit into the logic that governs the place, being permanently bothered and mocked by the rest of the children of their age.

About
Cheesehead is a nickname in the United States for a person from Wisconsin. The nickname is used for supporters of the Green Bay Packers, an American football team in the National Football League (NFL) based in the Green Bay, Wisconsin; it is also the name of cheese-shaped foam hats that supporters of the team wear. Wisconsin is well-known for its dairy industry and is called "America's Dairyland". The use of the term "cheesehead" in America originated with Illinois sports fans, who used it to derogatorily describe Wisconsin sports fans. Cheesehead as a derogatory term has an older history in Europe, with German soldiers mocking Dutch people by calling them kaaskop, which translates to "cheese head". Kaaskop is now considered a profanity and is used to refer to someone as stupid or dense.
