In 1970, Brazil and the world seems to have been turned upside-down, but 12 year-old Mauro's worries have nothing to do with the military regime which controls the country. His biggest dream is to see Brazil become three-time winner of the World Cup. Suddenly, he is torn from his parents and taken to live in a "strange" and fun-filled community -Bom Retiro, a district in São Paulo which is home to a large Jewish and Italian community, among others cultures. A moving story about overcoming your limits and solidarity.
En 1970, Brasil y el mundo parecen estar dados vuelta, pero las preocupaciones de Mauro, un chico de 12 años, no tienen nada que ver con el régimen militar que controla el país. Su sueño es que Brasil gane el Mundial de Fútbol y se consagre campeón por tercera vez. De repente es separado de sus padres y llevado a un distrito de Sao Paulo, llamado “Bom Retiro”, hogar de un gran número de judíos e italianos entre otras comunidades. Una historia conmovedora acerca de como pueden sobrellevarse las diferencias culturales y sobre la solidaridad.
