Synopsis: A junior football tournament in an Argentine province. Proud parents Chato and Lopez are feeling a little nervous. The Capital’s most important recruiters have come to look for new talent among the junior players. A contract with an important team is at stake – from there, many continue on to Europe, where they can earn millions. Shortly after the game, a Porteño scout declares to Chato and Lopez that their children aren´t good enough, that neither of them have enough talent. The brains of one, combined with the legs of another, now that would be something! Chato and Lopez are depressed. But Lopez has an idea: talent is genetic, just as his mother-in-law says about the cows she raises, and she´s right.
Inhalt: Ein Junioren Fussballturnier in der argentinischen Provinz. Die stolzen Spieler-Väter Chato und Lopez sind nervös. Scouts der grossen Clubs aus Buenos Aires sind angereist um die Jungs spielen zu sehen. Im Idealfall winkt ein Vertrag bei einem Club in der Hauptstadt und von da haben es schon viele nach Europa und zum grossen Geld gebracht. Doch kurz nach Spielende macht es der Scout klar: Beide Jungs sind nicht gut genug. Vom einem der Kopf, vom anderen die Beine, diese Mischung, das wäre was! Chato und Lopez sind niedergeschlagen. Doch Lopez hat eine Idee. Talent sei schliesslich genetisch, seine Schwiegermutter mache das bei ihren Kühen auch so. Er schlägt Chato eine Kreuzung vor. Er mit Chatos Frau und umgekehrt. Nach anfänglicher Skepsis und dank den aufgeschlossenen Ehefrauen kommt es, unter strenger Beobachtung der Schwiegermutter, zum offiziellen Akt.

Synopsis: There comes a time in every kid’s life when they realize their parents are up to more than just „cleaning“ their room. For nine-year-old Billy, this discovery only comes with the help of his know it all younger cousin, Genevieve. When she explains the rules and point system of the adults only game, Billy and Genevieve start counting up their own points. Soon playground gossip turns anatomical, and Billy, with Genevieve close behind, tries to get to the bottom of what „doing it“ actually means.
Inhalt: Im Leben eines jeden Kindes kommt der Zeitpunkt, an dem es erkennt, dass seine Eltern mehr im Schlafzimmer machen, als nur „Möbel verrücken“. Für den neunjährigen Billy kommt diese Erkenntnis erst mit Hilfe seiner jüngeren, besserwisserischen Cousine, Genevieve. Als sie ihm die Regeln und das Punkte-System des „Erwachsenenspiels“ erklärt, gehen Billy und Genevieve selbst auf Punkte-Jagd. Schon bald wird aus dem Sandkasten-Gerede eine anatomische Unterhaltung, und Billy, dicht gefolgt von Genevieve, versucht der Frage auf den Grund zu gehen, was „es treiben“ tatsächlich bedeutet.
