From the IMA’s blurb:
Golpe de Estadio / Time Out(Colombia, 1999, 120 mins., dir. Sergio Cabrera): As the nation teeters on the brink of civil war, most citizens are mesmerized by a championship soccer match. This includes a pilot whose excitement about Columbia scoring a goal causes him to crash into an American-owned oil tower at the center of a standoff between Colombian military guards and insurgent guerrilla forces. Golpe de Estadio is a scathing political and social satire of all the parties involved in one nation’s seemingly insurmountable problems. Shown in collaboration with SADCO / Society for Friends of Colombia.
