A very touching story of life in Brazil under the regime of dictatorship in 1970 during the World Cup of soccer when Pele’ took Brazil to third in a row championship, never before achieved. We meet Mauro, a 12-year old boy, whose parents go “on vacation” during the military regime and the World Cup. He finds himself in a diverse culture fending for himself at times. An endearing story with subtitles that you forget about as the film unfolds a classic coming-of-age story.

I am an extreme film fanatic, and indie film addict, and this film is no exception. It is also one of those very rare amazing cinematic films that unfortunately went under the radar. Why can’t people just enjoy these types of films, instead of those overrated blockbusters that you see now.

But anyway, count me in, definitely!
