Maíra was raised by her father believing that her mother had died. This was a lie her father told her in order to protect her from the scorn of her mother, who rejected her when she learned that her daughter was born with a disability. Many years later, Maíra comes across a stranger on their doorstep. That’s Zoé, her mother. Without revealing her true intentions, Zoe reappears asking her daughter’s forgiveness for having abandoned her. As in a dream that turns into a nightmare, Maíra experiences the strongest emotions of her life and what would be a happy fresh start for Maíra with her family turns into a long and dangerous journey.

È il 1950 e il Brasile intero ha la radio all'orecchio o gli occhi puntati al piccolo schermo: è una questione di orgoglio nazionale. La sconfitta in casa, per mano dell'Uruguay, nell'ultima partita dei Mondiali di Rio, getta il paese in uno stato di prostrazione collettivo e devastante. Attraverso la messa in discussione della pratica della ginga, espressione di un calcio felice e spettacolare, i brasiliani mettono in discussione la loro stessa identità e la loro visione del mondo. Ma non il piccolo Dico, 9 anni, folletto del calcio giocato senza scarpe tra i vicoli di Bauru. Colpito dalla tristezza sul volto del padre, Dico gli promette che un giorno porterà il Brasile alla vittoria, e dodici anni dopo, in Svezia, onorerà quel primo voto e si farà conoscere dal mondo intero col nome di Pelé.

Follows the unconventional lives of a Brazilian pop artist who got out of the streets to reach stardom and his manager-wife-choreographer.
