European Football Cup, Portugal. The country is relying on the team to raise its morale. The film is set in a poor neighbourhood following a group of idle pre-adolescents. Games are watched outdoors like a religious ritual. Rui, unlike the others, doesn’t watch football: he takes refuge in a dream-like world.
