Sorry. That’s innacurate. Manolo is not a dying old man.
Option 2:
The journey of Manolo, a young man who is between following the expectations of his family or following his heart. He embarks on an incredible adventure in fantastical worlds of love and fear.
That’s it! I am sure you’ll love this animation!

That’s incorrect. The movie is not about soccer.
