Plot

In 1970 Brazil, a young boy finds himself abandoned in a Jewish neighborhood as his parents flee the oppressive political climate. Amidst the backdrop of the World Cup, he grapples with loneliness and uncertainty, relying on the kindness of neighbors to navigate his new reality. The vibrant atmosphere of soccer and community contrasts sharply with the tension of the dictatorship, offering both a refuge and a challenge. As he adjusts to life without his parents, he discovers resilience, friendship, and the complexities of growing up in a time of turmoil.
