Synopsis

Sergio and his father haven’t seen each other for over 20 years. On the eve of the 2014 World Cup Sergio returns to his hometown, São Paulo. As days go by, their relationship starts to wander into unknown territory and their pact to watch the entire tournament together turns into a dangerous ritual.

Our take

Elegantly straddling documentary and fiction, Sergio Oksman takes a frank and intimate look at football and father-son relationships, reminding us that sport is always more than just a game. This delicate miniature quickly becomes a profound rumination on life, death, and everything in between.
