A group of retired soccer players gets together and recollect old stories involving soccer. One story features a soccer instructor who encounters a mysterious boy who is a soccer genius. Another storyteller recalls the time when he had just arrived in São Paulo and had to stay in the same bedroom with a star player who was also a womanizer. Another story concerns an evening in the life of a rising player who is considering playing for an Italian team. Yet another one is about a reporter who wants to interview a formerly famous player who is rumored to be facing financial troubles.
A faithful account of the human side of soccer, as it was before. There is humor and there is pathos, sometimes inextricably mixed. An important film for Brazilians, and even more so for those who live in São Paulo.
