By drawing parallels to Adolf Hitler at the 1936 Berlin Olympics and Benito Mussolini during the 1934 World Cup, the film argues that the 1978 tournament was one of the most blatant political exploitations in sports history. It presents previously unseen testimonies, survivors' accounts, and archival footage to underscore the duality of national euphoria against the backdrop of a violent dictatorship.

Mundial 78. La historia paralela captures a crucial moment in Argentine history, making it a significant documentary for those interested in sports, politics, and cultural studies in the context of the late 20th century.
